Annual Scientific Meeting
The Difficult Airway Society (DAS) typically organises a yearly scientific meeting for which bids are invited from members’ Local Organising Committees. The exception to this is when a World Airway Management Meeting (WAMM) is held together with the Society for Airway Management (SAM) and the European Airway Management Society (EAMS).
Other Events
The Difficult Airway Society also organises a number of webinars and local Roadshow events throughout the year and advertises these events here, via the eZine, emails to the membership and via social media.

Organising an Annual Scientific Meeting
Expressions of interest for organising future DAS ASMs are welcomed.
DAS members may apply to host a future ASM. Applications should be made no earlier than 4 years and no later than 2 years before the proposed date.
Please contact the Honorary Secretary ([email protected]) expressing an interest and any proposed details (e.g. potential names of the Local Organising Committee, venue, date, ideas regarding the meeting content or format). The application should not exceed 500 words.
The proposal will be put to the DAS Committee at its next meeting and considered. It may be accepted at that time or rejected or, most likely, retained for further consideration in light of other applications and plans DAS has for subsequent meetings. DAS is committed to ensuring that the ASM takes place across the length and breadth of the country and not seen as something only run by a select few ‘friends of the society’.
Finally, in the situation where there are more applications than slots, the DAS Committee may choose to hear bids in person from individuals or teams in a competitive process in order to select the best proposal.
The Secretary is very happy to discuss any plans or queries people may have in relation to a proposal.
