Japan to host the 12th Asia Pacific Symposium on Cochlear Implant and Related Sciences in 2019

THE Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau (TCVB) announced last week that the Asia Pacific Symposium on Cochlear Implant and Related Sciences (APSCI) in 2019 is returning to Japan for the third time.

First held in Kyoto in 1996 and then Osaka in 2001, Tokyo will become the third-time lucky host of the symposium and welcome over 800 doctors and scientists during the event, including 600 overseas attendees.

Professor T Yamasoba from the University of Tokyo, commented in a release: “The bid win owes to the continuing scientific contribution of Japanese specialists to the cochlear implant field. Also, we learned a lot from our last bid loss in 2013. This time we put more effort on close communication with our colleagues to earn understanding of the scientific significance of hosting APSCI in Japan.”

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and TCVB also aided in clinching the successful bid.

APSCI is scheduled to take place on November 5-8, 2019, at Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo.
