Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 Japan-Korea Joint Meeting of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (JKJM 2026), held for the first time in the beautiful city of Sapporo. I am honored to serve as chair of this meeting, where Otorhinolaryngologists - Head and Neck Surgeons from Korea, Japan, and around the world will come together not only to share knowledge but also to strengthen our bonds of friendship.

The JKJM 2026 will take place from September 30 (Wednesday) to October 2 (Friday) at the Grand Mercure Sapporo Odori Park. This is an excellent opportunity to expand our knowledge, deepen our social networks with international peers, and gain insights to enhance our practice and research.

For many years, JKJM has provided a platform for sharing progress, fostering collaboration, and exploring new directions in our field. Our 2026 program will continue this legacy with presentations on the latest research, clinical practices, and innovative technologies. With the dedicated support of the Korean and Japanese Societies of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, we hope this year’s gathering will be both insightful and inspiring.

Sapporo, known for its natural beauty, delicious cuisine, and warm hospitality, offers a wonderful environment for both academic engagement and enjoyable moments with colleagues. We hope that both the program and Sapporo's autumn scenery will make your time here truly memorable.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I warmly invite you to join us. We look forward to enriching exchanges, forming new friendships, and sharing experiences in Sapporo.

Warm regards,
