Gastro 2009, UEGW/WCOG London

Global Collaboration for Gastroenterology

For the first time in the history of gastroenterology, an international conference will take place which joins together the forces of four pre-eminent organisations: Gastro 2009, UEGW/WCOG London. The World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO), together with the United European Gastroenterology Federation (UEGF), the World Organisation of Digestive Endoscopy (OMED) and the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG), are jointly organising a landmark meeting in London from November 21 – 25, 2009. This collaboration will ensure the perfect balance of basic science and clinical practice, will cover all disciplines in gastroenterology (endoscopy, digestive oncology, nutrition, digestive surgery, hepatology, gastroenterology) and ensure a truly global context; all presented in the exciting setting of the city of London. Attendance is expected to reach record heights as participants are provided with a compact “all-in-one” programme merging the best of several GI meetings. Faculty and participants from all corners of the earth will merge to provide a truly global environment conducive to the exchange of ideas and the forming of friendships and collaborations.

The WGO Executive would like to take this opportunity to thank those member societies who indicated they would be interested in bidding for the World Congress of Gastroenterology in 2009. Your interest in and support of the World Gastroenterology Organisation is greatly appreciated.
