The confluence of the World Congress of Gastroenterology and the Australian Gastroenterology Week occurs once in a generation, and this provides a unique opportunity to attend an outstanding International Gastroenterology meeting. We are very excited about the Scientific Program, which covers all aspects of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. We have over 20 international speakers as part of our faculty, each of whom is an expert in their area of research. While the scientific sessions are designed for maximal interaction and discussion, we are also featuring a postgraduate course for those interested in current best practice advice for common conditions in Gastroenterology and Hepatology. - Steering Committee Prof. Alex Boussioutas, Co-Chair Prof. Geoffrey Metz, Co-Chair Prof. Carolina Olano Prof. Kaichun Wu GESA President WGO President WGO President-Elect WGO Treasurer Monash University & The Alfred Epworth Hospital Universidad de La Republica Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases Melbourne, Australia Richmond, Australia Montevideo, Uruguay Xi’an, China Scientific Program Committee A/Prof. Amany Zekry, Co- Chair Prof. Jonathan Leighton, Co-Chair Prof. Dan Dumitrascu A/Prof. Emily Wright University of New South Wales Mayo Clinic University of Medicine and Pharmacy St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, Australia Scottsdale, AZ, USA Cluj-Napoca, Romania Melbourne, Australia VIEW THE PROGRAM We are excited to announce that the WCOG@AGW25 program outline has been released.
