The Tanzania ENT Society (TENTS) holds a members’ conference annually. Since the members who form the TENTS are from different geographical locations, at each TENTS conference the venue for the next conference is decided.

The annual conference brings together the members and stakeholders from all over Tanzania. A theme is set for the conference and scientific papers and presentations are presented by various professionals. Members discuss the activities that need a highlight or further discussions and share their experiences at this platform.

New initiatives are also discussed and planned at these meetings. Some of the other agendas include ethics in the profession, standards of practise, training, education and engagement of other professionals related to the field.
