Welcome to ACG 2014! The Premier GI Clinical Event of the Year! Dear Colleagues, Welcome to ACG 2014 ACG’s Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course, the premier GI clinical event of the year. The Postgraduate Course Directors and ACG’s Educational Affairs Committee, along with 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 what is on the horizon that may impact your practice. 2014 was a record-breaking year for abstract submissions. You’ll find more than 1,800 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. This is a great opportunity to discuss posters, garner insight from the experts, and make new contacts with other attendees in a low-key, relaxed environment. Poster Rounds with the Experts run from Sunday through Tuesday. Two workshops will be offered on Monday. The first, from 12:45 pm – 2:15 pm the ACG-FDA Public Forum: Toward Improving the Quality of Colonoscopy: Evidence-based State of the Art in Bowel Preparation, will be held in Room 122AB. Learn more on page 54. The second workshop on Monday, from 3:55 pm – 4:35 pm, in Room 122AB, will be an informational session on ABIM’s Maintenance of Certification program that will offer some insight and provide an examination of the changes and their impact on you. Learn more about this workshop on page 55. ACG’s Archives Committee, with support from Olympus America, is displaying a history of endoscopy in the ACG 2014 Registration Area. Take a look back at practice from years gone by and how far we’ve come in technological advances. To learn about the latest tools available and techniques from leading experts, visit the ACG Hands-on Workshop Center to participate in one of the many sessions offered free to all ACG 2014 attendees. You can pre-register for these sessions at the special Hands-on Registration desk at ACG 2014 Registration. Hands-on sessions are offered Sunday through Tuesday. Learn more on page 16. Meet experts of the ACG Hepatitis Circle and the ACG & CCFA IBD Circle. Look for information about the day and time to meet the experts at the Circle booths outside of the main ballroom. Don’t forget to attend the Exhibit Hall Opening Reception, on Sunday, October 19, from 5:15 pm – 7:00 pm, immediately following the Postgraduate Course. The largest social event at the meeting, it is a great opportunity to enjoy food and drink with colleagues and friends and to explore the Exhibit Hall in support of the meeting’s sponsors. In closing, I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve you this year as ACG President. Your support has made the College more successful than ever. Sincerely, Harry E. Sarles, Jr., MD, FACG ACG President 1 Schedule at a Glance Friday, October 17 Sunday, October 19, continued 6:00 am – 8:00 pm Registration 8:00 am – 10:00 am Auxiliary Registration/Hospitality Suite Broad Street Atrium Philadelphia Marriott Downtown - Room 310 6:00 am – 8:00 pm Job Forum 8:00 am – 5:00 pm ACG Store Broad Street Atrium Terrace Ballroom Lobby 6:30 am – 8:00 am Continental Breakfast 12:20 pm – 1:35 pm Optional Learning Luncheons* (ticket required) Outside course rooms See ticket for room assignment 7:00 am – 12:30 pm GI Pathology and Imaging Course 12:20 pm – 1:35 pm Trainees Luncheon* – Employment (ticket required) Room 120ABC Room 115B 7:30 am – 4:45 pm Practice Management Course 12:20 pm – 1:35 pm Trainees Luncheon* – Fellowship (ticket required) Room 121ABC Room 115C 8:00 am – 5:00 pm ASGE-Sponsored Course 3:30 pm – 7:00 pm Exhibit Hall Opens Room 122AB Exhibit Halls DE 1:15 pm – 4:30 pm What’s New in GI Pharmacology Course 3:30 pm – 7:00 pm Hands-on Workshop Center Room 120ABC Exhibit Halls DE 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm Negotiation and Networking Skills Workshop* 3:30 pm – 7:00 pm Poster Sessions Room 124-125 Exhibit Halls DE 5:00 pm – 9:30 pm Recertification Preparation & Update Course 5:15 pm – 6:00 pm International Attendee Reception Room 119AB Room 124 5:15 pm – 6:00 pm NP/PA Attendee Reception Room 125 5:15 pm – 6:00 pm Women and Minorities in GI Reception Saturday, October 18 Room 123 5:15 pm – 7:00 pm Opening Welcome Reception 7:00 am – 7:45 am Continental Breakfast Exhibit Halls DE Terrace Ballroom Lobby 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm Alumni Receptions 7:00 am – 5:15 pm Registration See invitation for room assignment Broad Street Atrium 7:00 am – 5:15 pm Job Forum Broad Street Atrium 7:50 am – 5:00 pm Postgraduate Course Monday, October 20 Terrace Ballroom 8:00 am – 10:00 am Auxiliary Registration/Hospitality Suite 6:00 am – 4:45 pm Registration Philadelphia Marriott Downtown - Room 310 Broad Street Atrium 8:00 am – 5:00 pm ACG Store 6:00 am – 4:45 pm Job Forum Terrace Ballroom Lobby Broad Street Atrium 10:00 am – 10:30 am David Sun Lecture 6:30 am – 7:45 am Optional Breakfast Sessions* (ticket required) Terrace Ballroom See ticket for room assignment 12:20 pm – 1:35 pm Optional Learning Luncheons* (ticket required) 7:50 am – 6:00 pm Annual Scientific Meeting See ticket for room assignment Terrace Ballroom 12:20 pm – 1:35 pm Career Opportunities for Women in GI Luncheon* 8:00 am – 10:00 am Auxiliary Registration/Hospitality Suite Room 119B (ticket required) Philadelphia Marriott Downtown - Room 310 5:15 pm – 7:00 pm GI Jeopardy 8:00 am – 6:00 pm ACG Store Room 120AB Terrace Ballroom Lobby 9:00 am – 9:30 am Presidential Address Terrace Ballroom 10:00 am – 4:30 pm Exhibit Hall Sunday, October 19 Exhibit Halls DE 10:00 am – 4:30 pm Hands-on Workshop Center 7:00 am – 7:45 am Continental Breakfast Exhibit Halls DE Terrace Ballroom Lobby 10:30 am – 4:00 pm Poster Sessions 7:00 am – 8:00 am Gutrunners™ 5k Race /1 Mile Walk Exhibit Halls DE Location to be announced 12:45 pm – 1:30 pm Exhibitor Theater 7:00 am – 6:30 pm Registration Exhibit Halls DE Broad Street Atrium 12:45 pm – 2:15 pm Lunch Break 7:00 am – 6:30 pm Job Forum Exhibit Halls DE Broad Street Atrium 12:45 pm – 2:15 pm ACG-FDA Public Forum on Quality Colonoscopy 7:50 am – 5:00 pm Postgraduate Course Room 122AB Terrace Ballroom * Pre-registration required 2 Schedule at a Glance SCHEDULE ACG 2014 Monday, October 20, cont.
