Abstract
History is written by people. And the history of surgical specialties is written by people who passionately love their specialty. One manifestation of such love and passion is organizing meetings for colleagues. The inaugural Manhattan Meeting, titled “Contemporary Approaches to Aesthetic Face and Jaw Surgery,” was just such a Symposium. Hosted by Hanna Face and Jaw on June 26–27, 2026, at the Park Lane New York, this exclusive event fostered face-to-face academic dialogue between global faculty and international clinicians. Finally, the editorial details the meeting's core topics, participant demographics, and sponsors, alongside a comparative analysis of Article Processing Charges (APCs) and overall event participation costs.
