Unlike the typical selection process to host a medical conference that usually involves academic institutions or professional organisations, the biennial World Congress for Endoscopic Surgery of the Paranasal Sinuses, Skull Base, Brain and Spine focuses on an individual.

Based on their contributions to skull base surgery on a global platform, a surgeon is elected as the president of the next Congress.
