The World Congress of Gastroenterology
The World Congress of Gastroenterology is held every 4 years. Applications to host a World Congress can only be considered from member societies. Final ratification of the venue of a World Congress is by the General Assembly of the World Gastroenterology Organisation.
The Resounding Success of GASTRO 2009
The joint effort between WGO, UEGF, OMED and BSG to organize a landmark meeting in London resulted in 14 600 participants from 150 countries at GASTRO 2009 UEGW/WCOG. Some of the WGO highlights of GASTRO 2009 were the Young Clinicians Programme, WGO Bockus and Brohée Named Lectures, the IBS Task Force Symposium as the culmination point of WDHD 2009, WGO Global Education Symposium and the WGO General Assembly with participants from 59 countries in attendance. We would like to extend our warmest thank you to all participants. Visit the GASTRO 2009 website for more information on the congress and for a GASTRO 2009 evaluation form.
Discussions are underway about holding the next World Congress of Gastroenterology in 2013 in Shanghai, China.
GASTRO 2009 Working Parties
The Working Party concept has been one of the real success stories of previous World Congresses and has resulted in the publication of important documents such as the “Sydney Classification” and “LAGrading System.” For almost 2 years, the GASTRO 2009 Working Parties worked on key global issues in gastroenterology. All of the topics were reviewed and approved by the GASTRO 2009 Scientific Program Committee and the results were presented at GASTRO 2009 UEGW/WCOG in London in November 2009. Please find below the GASTRO 2009 Working Party Executive Summaries.
