  • Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the World Congress of Gastroenterology (WCOG) at ACG2017
    Welcome to WCOG at ACG2017 The International GI Educational Event of the Year! Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the World Congress of Gastroenterology (WCOG) at ACG2017. This collaboration between the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and the World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO) sees the return of the World Congress of GI to the United States for the first time in more than two decades. This is the premier clinical GI event of the year. The educational opportunities at the Postgraduate Course, Scientific Meeting, and Friday courses are unparalleled. Carol Burke The joint Scientific Programming Committee and Planning Committee, along with the Postgraduate Course Directors and the Friday Course Directors, have brought together internationally recognized experts and rising stars in the field. This year’s program promises to deliver the latest clinical updates in gastroenterology and hepatology, plus discuss of what is on the horizon that may impact your practice. We are thrilled that throughout the event there will be sessions that offer simultaneous Spanish interpretation — a first for a World Congress of Gastroenterology. 2017 was a record-breaking year for abstract submissions. You’ll find more than David Bjorkman 2,600 posters and oral presentations this year. Poster presentations open on Sunday beginning at 3:30 pm. Posters may be found in the Exhibit Hall. A popular activity for viewing posters is Poster Rounds with the Experts. Each day of the poster sessions, well-known experts will lead attendees around to posters of interest. In recognition of the larger than normal international presence at this meeting, we will have experts leading groups of attendees in a number of different languages.
