The Canadian ENT Society now has the complicated task of organizing the next international ENT congress in 2021. The Canadian proposal won over the members of IFOS, who expressed as much during a vote of the General Assembly which took place in the afternoon of June 27. However, the votes were close: at the first round of voting, Vancouver tied with Buenos Aires (20 votes). These cities were followed in third position by Dubai (18 votes). A second round of voting enabled IFOS to decide among the aspiring host countries and appointed Vancouver (30 votes against 27 for Dubai and 22 for Buenos Aires).
