Welcome

CIAP returns to Granlibakken and Lake Tahoe It has been some time since we have all congregated at Granlibakken to discuss all things of the science of implantable auditory prostheses, and we’re very pleased to announce that we will be back together again in July 2023. The in-person meeting will follow its traditional “Gordon-like” format over the planned 4.5 days of the conference (July 9-14, 2023). Having experienced an extraordinary increase in international trainee participation during the virtual 2021 meeting, we are striving to also offer streaming options for those unable to attend in person. We are actively investigating platforms to permit this, and welcome any input/experience that others may wish to share. We are truly excited about the possibility of gathering again in person to share the latest cochlear implant and related research developments at the premiere conference in the field, an event providing not only the extraordinary benefits of an in-person conference at this terrific location, but hopefully also an engaging virtual experience for a wider audience than we have been able to include in the past. Details about invited speakers are provided on the Programs link. Registration, abstract submission and information about student travel awards are open now on the appropriate links. Information about the preliminary conference schedule will be posted soon - stay tuned!
