News in Gastroenterology in 2023

Dear colleagues, Considering the ever-evolving field of gastroenterology, driven by both new scientific discoveries and recent technological advancements, we deemed it fitting to organize the "News in Gastroenterology in 2023" conference. This event will take place in person at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Cluj-Napoca, from November 3rd to 4th, 2023. The conference will address current topics, highlighting the latest recommendations from gastroenterology guidelines and protocols, and will present practical cases in a dynamic and interactive format for the participants. The subjects at hand will be presented by high-profile scientific leaders from our country and will focus on the scientific information that has emerged in the current and previous years. We aspire to have a high-caliber scientific discussion in a pleasant and collegial atmosphere. We hope that this gathering will be both stimulating and instructive, as well as an opportunity to reunite and share our experiences. We look forward to welcoming you to Cluj with enthusiasm!
