Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I would like to invite you to the 2^nd VERTIGYŐR congress, which will take place on 4-5^th November 2019 in Győr, Hungary. It is a great pleasure to announce it as an international congress for the first time.

More information about conference here

The participants of this event can update their knowledge with new informations on the physiological function of the vestibular system. Furthermore, they can also hear about long forgotten works of important vestibular researchers.We place a special emphasis on the emergency care of dizziness. Bedside otoneurological examination methods with and without equipment and the medical, surgical and the physiotherapy of dizziness will all be important features of our congress.

This event will be held in the historical city centre of Győr, (located between Bratislava, Budapest and Vienna) where in the labyrinth of the small streets not only cultural but culinary experiences will await the attendees.

Last but not least, I would like to invite you with the words of our guest of honour, professor David Zee: „Let’s make nystagmus great again!”

See you in Hungary!
