Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The Philippine Society of Audiology is proud to host the 1st Conference of the Asia Oceania Association of Audiology on November 27, 2008.

With the theme “The Twain Shall Meet: Hearing Enabling Listening”, today’s audiologists, otolaryngologists, audiometricians, audiological technicians and allied medical science practitioners in the Asia Oceania region must take a forward looking perspective in responding to the challenges brought about by changes in the global environment where the need for professional audiology services is growing dramatically. The importance of continuing education and training - calling for new mindsets, creative approaches and quick responses – cannot be overemphasized.

On behalf of the Philippine Organizing Committee, we would like to cordially extend our invitation for you to take part in the 1st Asia Oceania Association of Audiology Conference this November 2008. Let this also be an occasion to renew acquaintances, meet old friends and establish new ones.

Allow us to give you a most rewarding and memorable experience as we welcome you with the legendary warmth and hospitality of the Filipino people.

Mabuhay!

Overall Chair 1st Asia Oceania Association of Audiology Conference	President Philippine Society of Audiology
