As ever, last year’s conference programme and exhibition area were evaluated as good or excellent by 99% of delegates. In 2020, we will continue to build on the successes of previous years, launching with an all-inclusive welcome reception within the exhibition hall in the late afternoon of Monday 15th June. The main programme will run from 15th – 18th June. The programme will include basic and clinical science symposia as well as state-of-the-art lectures from international and UK speakers, clinical updates, a Translational Science Masterclass and moderated poster rounds, all complemented by a fully integrated industry-supported programme
This year the programme will feature a day of live endoscopy streamed from Leeds Hospital, and international collaborations in endoscopy and inflammatory bowel disease with European partners. Now in its fourth year, the hands-on Endoscopy Village will take place throughout the week located within the exhibition area.
The Annual Meeting will run from 15th-18th June 2020. The Gastroenterology and GP Masterclasses will take place on the Monday, followed by the main meeting from Tuesday to Thursday. Exhibition, industry symposia and poster sessions take place on Tuesday through Thursday, alongside key programme topics each day as outlined below.
