Seasons Greetings! Wishing you a very Happy Dushera and Deepawali. In the midst of this festive season we will having our 11th Annual Conference of Skull Base Surgery Society of India. Dr Manas Panigrahi and his team from Hydrabad have put up a very exciting academic and social program from 2nd to 4th October. There is a very focused Endoscopic and Skull Base Workshop on 4th Oct. The response from participants and presenters are encouraging. We have eminent international and National faculty to share there experience and have close interaction. As per decision of EC and GB we have started to theme based symposium from this year. This years subjects has been "Skull Base Infections" and Skull Base Reconstruction". I hope these symposiums will be successful and we can carry this format in future.

SBSSI is gaining in strength and in three years has grown from 105 to 172. There has been an increase in multispeciality participation and membership. This success is due to year very exciting workshops and high academic standards in our conferences. We hope to continue and excel in future too.
