PAAO President’s Message
March 2021

Dear Friends & Colleagues,
“It takes two to Tango!
As I previously mentioned, we have been hard at work, planning and finalizing the PAAO Buenos Aires Congress, taking place with the new dates of March 17 to 20, 2023, at the outstanding exhibition centre, La Rural. This meeting will be held in conjunction with the CAO and we couldn’t be more pleased to be together.
We are eagerly awaiting all of you to join us for this exceptional meeting! We have a fruitful scientific program with a mix of traditional lectures, as well as new style workshops. We are pleased to announce that the PAAO-YO will play a big role in the new style of lectures at the Congress.
Buenos Aires is an extremely beautiful international city with superb weather in March. There is plenty of excellent culture and history to enjoy. This will, no doubt, be both an excellent scientific and social experience.
We are hopeful that by the time the congress is held, COVID-19 will be under control and regular travel will be back to normal. It will be wonderful to be together again in a conference hall.
I am thrilled to invite each and every one of you to come to Buenos Aires and join us for this Congress. We are looking forward to seeing you all there and we are sure this meeting will be a great success!
Please stay safe and well.
With best wishes,
Miguel N. Burnier Jr., MD, MSc, PhD, FRCSC
PAAO President
