“MEET THE EXPERTS” Breakfast Sessions

ACG will again offer its popular “Meet the Experts” sessions on Monday and Tuesday mornings. These in-person, open-to-all, 45-minute sessions will be tied to select topic areas from the optional Annual Scientific Meeting Bonus Sessions. Sessions on Monday (7:00 am – 7:45 am) will cover Liver, Endoscopy, GI Bleeding, DEI, and IBD. Tuesday sessions (7:30 am – 8:15 am) will cover Nutrition, IBD, Endoscopy, Liver, and Pancreaticobiliary. Coffee and light breakfast items will be provided. While purchase of the Bonus Sessions is not required to attend these sessions, attendees who have purchased and watched the on-demand Bonus Sessions in advance will benefit most from these casual in-person opportunities for Q&A with faculty experts.
