ABOUT THE EVENT
THE AIRWAY DOES NOT BELONG NOT BELONG TO A SINGLE SPECIALITY
Breathing, sleep, growth, and development are deeply interconnected, yet we continue to address them in isolation. This congress was created to change that.
A space where different disciplines come together to align approaches, share knowledge, and build new ways of working as a team.
