About BACO 2026

BACO International 2026 (The British Academic Conference in Otolaryngology) is ENT UK's flagship, historic conference which encompasses all the main ENT subspecialties, including Otology, Rhinology, Head & Neck, Laryngology, Paediatrics and Facial Plastics, as well as incorporating sessions for Allied Health Professionals and GPs.

Planning for BACO 2026 has focused on three key areas:

• Outstanding value: Lower delegate fees mean BACO is now more accessible than ever, especially for ENT UK members.
• Diversity, sustainability, and excellence: Embedding equality and environmental responsibility at every stage.
• Focused learning: Fewer, high-impact themes to encourage larger audiences, cross-specialty sessions, and shared learning.

Networking and Socials

As well as providing a fantastic educational programme, BACO 2026 will host a variety of networking opportunities, including:

• The infamous BACO Party, which will take place during the evening on Thursday 2 July 2026, at the iconic Òran Mór venue in Glasgow. This will be a ticketed event and tickets will be released shortly. Expect a delicious three-course meal, drinks, live music and entertainment, and lots of dancing until late!
• The Meet the Sponsors Afternoon, which will also take place on Thursday 2 July 2026 once sessions have concluded for the day. This networking event will take place within the Exhibition Hall at the SEC and will be a great opportunity to connect with our sponsors and exhibitors in a more laid-back environment over some drinks and canapés. There will be no additional cost to attend this event.
• For the early risers, a complimentary yoga session within the SEC between 7-7.45am on Thursday 2 July 2026. A chance to start the day right, either by yourself or with your colleagues!
