26th Düsseldorf International Endoscopy Symposium 2024
Germany
Organiser: ENDO

Dear colleagues,

After the fulminant re-launch of our on-site event during the 25th Anniversary Congress with again more than 2,000 participants on site in Düsseldorf, it is now our great pleasure to cordially invite you to the 26th edition of our International Endoscopy Symposium!

The congress can take place on site like before the pandemic. It offers all opportunities for personal meetings with colleagues, business partners and friends from all over the world. In recent years, we have further developed the digital infrastructure of our congress with the introduction of our interactive new web platform and the new congress app, which enables exclusive later on-demand access and active participation in discussions and TED questions for registered participants. Furthermore, the platforms offer the possibilities of direct interaction with speakers and other participants, the exchange of information on new developments and technologies, and participation in virtual satellite symposia.

The symposium will be complemented by a certified hands-on training course. This includes basic techniques as well as training on advanced endoscopic therapies. Due to the overwhelming demand at last year’s congress, we will offer additional seats this year – however, based on experience, we recommend early registration!

As with our previous symposia, renowned experts from different parts of the world will be on site in Düsseldorf, allowing us to learn from each other on an international level. Participants can ex- pect a varied program with live demonstrations from the Evangelisches Krankenhaus Düsseldorf, mini and satellite symposia, a satellite symposium for nurses, state-of-the-art lectures, and snack with the experts, using the latest AV technology to provide an ideal professional environment for learning and sharing knowledge and experience at the Maritim Hotel Düsseldorf Airport City.
It is designed to encourage your active participation and stimulate discussions. The high number of participants and the very positive survey results of our previous symposia prove the success of our concept.

The faculty, the congress organization, LUX AV and our team are looking forward to welcoming you personally on site again and wish you an interesting and enjoyable stay in Düsseldorf!

European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation 19th Congress
Sweden
Organiser: ECCO: European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation

It gives me great pleasure to invite you all to the 19th ECCO Congress. We are venturing further north this time and will see each other for the first time in Stockholm on February 21-24, 2024.

IBD must now be considered a global disease, so ECCO's mission is to provide the best possible care for IBD patients beyond the borders of our continent. The Congress theme for ECCO 2024 - Crossing Borders - follows from this.

In order to actively cross borders, we have already announced the Global Grant for the first time in the run-up to the Congress, which is intended to stimulate network building between ECCO member countries and IBD centres from low or lower-middle income countries. The large number of applications received shows the need and also the opportunities that can arise through such networks.

The programme has a number of borders that we need to cross. These include personalized therapy strategies, combination therapies, biomarkers but also the critical questioning of current and development of new therapeutic targets. However, we also want to take a look at the development of IBD worldwide and discuss the different perspectives on therapeutic options and strategies. Similarly, treatment limitations arise when we have younger patients in family planning or older patients with comorbidities. In addition, there are new aspects of imaging and diagnostics, as well as a critical look at clinical trials and how they compare to real world data. Additional highlights are sessions on the gut brain axis, the crosstalk of inflammation and metabolism as well as the impact of nutritional therapy from paediatric to adult care. The programme will be complemented by excellent abstracts, which will include all other innovative and current topics.

Additionally, the Scientific Programme will be live streamed and available on-demand on our virtual platform once the Congress is over.

In any case, it is worthwhile to have a look at the versatile Educational Programme and to inform yourself in time about the numerous courses such as Basic Imaging Course, IBD Intensive Course for Trainees, N-ECCO School, EPICOM Workshop, N-ECCO-Research Forum to name just a few. The more personal format of the Educational Programme allows for intensive discussion and exchange.

I am very much looking forward to seeing everyone again in Stockholm to work together towards our goal of providing better care for our patients. 

Do not wait and check out the ECCO 2024 Congress website and register on time to secure your seat for our educational activities!

Canada
Organiser: Canadian Association of Gastroenterology / Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver / Canadian Network on Hepatitis C / Canadian NASH Network / Canadian Association of Hepatology Nurses / TRIANGLE

Welcome to CDDW™-CLM 2024

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the Joint 2024 Canadian Digestive Diseases Week™ and Canadian Liver Meeting Conference, taking place March 1-3, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario.

As was last year, the Conference will be another joint effort between the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology and the Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver, as well as their affiliates the Canadian Network on Hepatitis CCanadian NASH NetworkCanadian Association of Hepatology Nurses, and TRIANGLE. Attendees will have full access to two distinct conferences – CDDW™ and CLM – as well as exceptional Symposia and programming such as the Gastroenterology Resident in Training Course and Research Topics program at the same time and under a single roof. We’re also so excited about the numerous opportunities for delegates from across the GI and hepatology communities to come together for shared networking and social events as part of the collaborative Conference.

The second delivery of the Joint 2024 CDDW™-CLM Conference will be the premiere meeting for all members of the Canadian gastroenterology and hepatology communities including trainees, nurses and researchers with an interest in liver and gastroenterology.

Posters and trainee involvement will continue to be the cornerstone to the meeting, providing the latest research in gastroenterology and hepatology from across Canada with a daily poster session that will enable delegates to engage live with poster presenters. The Conference will showcase more than 400 abstracts and three days of lectures on the latest advances in research, medicine, and technology. The Conference also provides an opportunity for professionals in the field to discuss the medical, technological, ethical, regulatory and legal issues facing the profession today.

The Canadian perspective on liver and gastrointestinal disease research is necessary to address clinical practice concerns unique to Canada’s demographics, geography, and epidemiological trends; this must include specific attention to priority populations including Indigenous peoples. Our program will provide this Canadian perspective on liver and gastroenterology, stressing our combined ongoing commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and a revitalized commitment to climate change action.

Highlights of the 2024 Conference will include the high-profile plenary presentations, small group discussions, an extended menu of workshops, including the Hands-On session, a Small Intestine Ultrasound Workshop and a Fibroscan Workshop, as well as an enhanced version of the Mentorship Café. The Presidents’ Gala is a natural opportunity to enjoy an evening of networking, fun and live music.

ACG/FGS Annual Spring Symposium
USA
Organiser: ACG/FGS

Join your colleagues for the ACG/FGS Annual Spring Symposium at the Naples Grande Beach Resort in the beautiful Naples area of Florida. The program is designed to fill your mornings with the latest clinical updates while keeping your afternoons free to explore and enjoy the many amenities the area has to offer. Daily sessions wrap up by 12:30 pm, giving you plenty of opportunity to reflect, relax, and unwind.

The Naples Grande Beach Resort boasts pampering spa options, sandy beaches, and sophisticated accommodations. Relax with a sunset stroll along the resort’s three miles of white sand beach along the stunning Gulf of Mexico or visit Naples’ charming historic district.

The current pace of scientific discovery makes mastery of advancing knowledge, new diagnostic techniques, and progress in therapeutics a challenge for gastroenterologists or generalists. At the same time, the rigors of the profession demand a deeper understanding of changes occurring within the healthcare system. Nationally recognized expert faculty will provide insight into these areas through a combination of didactic presentations and interactive discussions. Attendees will leave the program ready to immediately implement the knowledge gained to improve their clinical practice.

EASL School: Alcohol-related liver disease: diagnosis, risk stratification and management

This EASL school is dedicated to chronic alcohol related liver disease, covering all aspects of the patient’s journey through the healthcare system. From alcohol’s impact on citizens in the society, to early disease detection, biomarkers used in healthcare pathways from primary to secondary care, global and specialised interventions, and new innovations to improve patient management. With the school, we aim to combat the stigma and taboo associated with the harmful effects of alcohol, and replace it with fully updated and high-quality evidence highlighting the many opportunities for improving our patient’s life and health.  

The format of the school based on reversed-classroom format will be a platform for participants to discuss best-practice, gaps in knowledge, opportunities and barriers towards effective healthcare pathways. The topics will center around biomarkers and interventions: (1) existing and future diagnostic, monitoring and prognostic biomarkers, their applications, pitfalls and technical concepts. (2) existing and future interventions, whether pharmacological, psychosocial, or dietary, with a discussion of barriers and opportunities for giving patients’ access to effective treatments.

Organiser: ESP

Dear Colleague, The European Society of Pathology (ESP) and the Italian Society of Pathology invite you to the 36th European Congress of Pathology (ECP 2024). It will take place in the Congress Center, Fortezza da Basso, of the wonderful city of Florence from 7 – 11 September 2024. Over the last years ECP has become the worldwide leading congress in Pathology and the Florence congress will increase this legacy with top contributions in diagnostic training, research and education. For these few days in September, pathologists, clinicians, molecular biologists, geneticists, bioinformaticians, IT experts as well as our industry partners will gather together for ECP 2024 and will make Florence the capital of Pathology. It is a MUST event and you should be there! The motto of the ECP2024‚ Multidimensional Pathology – Cornerstone of modern diagnostics refl ects the fact that Pathology as no other medical discipline has integrated novel technologies – such as electron microscopy, immunohistology, molecular diagnostics and recently computational pathology (and more to come) – into its portfolio while safely relying on classical histology in its broad spectrum of diagnostic services. By this, Pathology has gained a position as one of the forefront innovation drivers in medicine and a key player in medical decision making. ECP2024 is dedicated to provide up-to-date insight into the whole spectrum of modern diagnostic and translational tools and achievements that characterize Pathology and its contribution to innovative diagnostics. The ESP working groups and affi liated Societies are planning excellent state-of-the art organ and topic-based sessions providing the latest developments in diagnostic Pathology. Special sessions focusing on hot topics and recent research fi ndings are organised jointly with our cooperating scientifi c societies. Keynote lectures held by internationally recognized experts will provide the cutting edge of Pathology, Research and Development and all these highlights are complemented by many oral free, poster and educational sessions which provide ample possibilities for presentation of your own research. It is up to you to participate and submit your abstracts to ECP2024. Florence as the cradle of the Renaissance and an unbelievable assembly of culture, history and sightseeing attractions needs no advertisement; make sure to spare some time to see the fascinating sites of this marvelous city which are only a short walk away from the Congress Center. ECP itself will contribute by an attractive social programme. Maybe also family and friends consider to join you? Make sure to plan for and book your slot at ECP 2024. We are looking forward to meeting you in Florence!    Peter Schirmacher President of the European Society of Pathology Gabriella Nesi Chair of the Local Organising Committee of ECP 2024

2024 ESCMID/ASM Joint Conference on Drug Development to Meet the Challenge of Antimicrobial Resistance
Portugal
Organiser: ESCMID/ASM

ECCMID takes place annually in the spring and is recognized by academia, the clinical setting and industry as the largest European congress for the presentation and discussion of research in the fields of clinical microbiology and infection. The first European Congress of Clinical Microbiology (ECCM) was organised in 1983 in Bologna. After the Society's adoption of infectious diseases in the late eighties, the first ECCMID was held in 1991 in Oslo. Initially a biannual congress, ECCMID became an annual event after 1999 in Berlin. The venues of ECCMID have been systematically selected to ensure that the congress is easily accessible to colleagues from different areas of Europe on a rotating basis. Since its initiation, ECCMID has grown in size and stature and now attracts around 10,000 participants every year. The number of submitted abstracts has risen to over 3,000 of which 65% are accepted for oral or poster presentation. ECCMID is a congress that industry supports through sponsored symposia as well as a large and comprehensive exhibition of laboratory equipment, diagnostic tools and pharmaceutical products.

The 2024 ESCMID/ASM Joint Conference on Drug Development to Meet the Challenge of Antimicrobial Resistance will take place in Porto, Portugal on September 17-20, 2024. Make sure to save the date.

Antimicrobial drug resistance (AMR) is an urgent global health problem. New antimicrobial drug development is increasingly viewed as a priority by national and international bodies. Co-sponsored by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) and the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID), this multidisciplinary meeting will address the challenges, opportunities and current requirements for antimicrobial drug development to address antimicrobial resistance.
