Live from Phoenix! The 13th Annual Endoscopy Video Forum
Share your unique case or case series with colleagues by submitting a video abstract to the 13th Annual Endoscopy Video Forum for ACG 2025.
Held on Monday afternoon, October 27, 2025, this 75-minute session will focus on endoscopy techniques, challenging, unusual or unique cases, and cases in the area of GI endoscopy. All submitted videos will be considered for oral presentation during this special video symposium. Videos not selected for oral presentation at the Endoscopy Video Forum session may instead be accepted for poster presentation in the exhibit hall.
Submissions can be a case or a case series and should be no longer than 5 minutes in length. Authors of videos accepted for oral presentation at the Endoscopy Video Forum will narrate and present their video live and will have up to 2 minutes to answer questions from the judges and the audience. During the session, the audience, along with the judges, will vote to select the best video of the ACG 2025 meeting. The presenter of the winning video will receive a certificate of recognition.

ACG International Travel Grants – The ACG International Travel Grant program, which started in 2024, provides grants to presenting authors from countries classified by the World Bank as Lower to Lower-Middle Income (LLMI). This grant includes registration for the Annual Scientific Meeting plus a $2,000 stipend. Up to three grants will be awarded to the best abstracts submitted by international authors from LLMI countries. Authors must not be based in or be a citizen of the U.S. or Canada and all work must have been performed outside the U.S. and Canada. Recipients will be required to travel to and attend the ACG Annual Meeting in-person to receive their grant funding. It is the responsibility of the grant recipient to book and pay for travel and accommodations. The goal of these grants is to encourage research in gastroenterology in LLMI countries and inspire researchers to present their research at the ACG Annual Meeting. These travel grants are contingent upon the person listed as the presenting author presenting the research and do not apply if someone other than the recipient presents. The International Travel Grants are supported by the ACG International Relations Committee. Recipients are determined by the ACG International Relations Committee and ACG Abstract Selection Committee.
