WELCOME

Dear Colleagues, It is with great pleasure that we invite you, on behalf of the 2020 Planning Committee, to join us at the Annual Meeting of the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) taking place in Liverpool 15th – 18th June 2020.

This meeting is an excellent opportunity for you to engage with the clinical community (physicians, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, scientists, nurses, dieticians and others working in the field). We expect over 2,200 gastrointestinal healthcare professionals to join us at this major, four-day international meeting in the vibrant city of Liverpool. The meeting will begin on Monday 15th June with the Gastroenterology Masterclass, with expert speakers focusing on the practical management of common GI and liver conditions. Alongside this, for the first time ever, we will be running a GP masterclass where we expect up to 150 GPs from the surrounding area to join us for a separate Masterclass focusing on the primary care of gastroenterology.

As ever, last year’s conference programme and exhibition area were evaluated as good or excellent by 99% of delegates. In 2020, we will continue to build on the successes of previous years, launching with an all-inclusive welcome reception within the exhibition hall in the late afternoon of Monday 15th June. This is the first opportunity for delegates and industry partners to meet together in an informal setting ahead of the main programme which commences on the following day.

This year the programme will feature a day of Live Endoscopy streamed from Leeds Hospital, and international collaborations in Endoscopy and Inflammatory Bowel Disease with European partners. Now in its fourth year, the hands-on Endoscopy Village will take place throughout the week located within the exhibition area. This will feature 10 stations allowing personal training in different endoscopic scenarios.

The main programme will run from 15th – 18th June. The programme will include basic and clinical science symposia as well as state-of-the-art lectures from international and UK speakers, clinical updates, a Translational Science Masterclass and moderated poster rounds, all complemented by a fully integrated industry-supported programme.

Having listened to your feedback from previous events we have brought in some changes to the Partnership opportunities, including pre-registration of the Symposia Express which are designed specifically for those with niche products and services, allowing you to engage with a tailored selection of the audience. We have also refreshed the industry supported session programme, providing greater footfall and opportunities to develop the programme alongside the scientific programme committee.

We would be delighted if your company would join with us to support this innovative and exciting meeting, bringing together the very best in the fields of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

Dr Stuart McPherson, BSG Senior SecretaryMr Mark Hacker, Chief Executive

The British Society of Gastroenterology is a registered charity and one of the largest medical gastroenterology and hepatology communities in the UK. A professional organisation, it is a voice for gastroenterology and hepatology in the UK, influencing health policy nationally. It has representation within the British Royal Colleges and consequently the Government and other NHS bodies in the UK. Internationally it is represented at World and European level and has strong links with other member societies across the world.

It has over three thousand members drawn from the ranks of physicians, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, scientists, nurses, dieticians, physiologists and others interested in the field.

It supports its members in providing the best care and outcomes for patients with gastrointestinal and liver disease, bringing them early awareness of changes in best practice and new research. Key to this is the annual scientific meeting where hundreds of original papers are presented to audiences of over 2,000 professionals. It is also intimately involved in all aspects of gastroenterology training in Britain.

Research is supported through the promotion of high standards and offering platforms for scientific presentation and publication, and directly through substantial financial contributions to the Society’s affiliated charity, GUTS UK.

The BSG co-owns three journals. Gut is Europe’s highest ranked gastroenterology journal, by citation related impact factor, and the Society’s oldest title. Frontline Gastroenterology focuses on clinical aspects of Gastroenterology. The newest addition to the portfolio is the open access journal BMJ Open Gastroenterology. The Society regularly produces guidelines on aspects of contemporary practice.

OUR COMMITMENT TO INDUSTRY

Thank you to all our new and regular partners for joining with us and supporting the BSG Annual Meeting. Without you, the coming together of our speciality at such an energising annual meeting, which showcases the best in research and new medical initiatives, simply wouldn’t be possible. As our partners, we promise:

• We will present all exhibition stand holders with a current, opted-in participant list 4 days in advance of the meeting, with a final update the day before.

• We will ensure you have an out of hours emergency telephone number to support you once you arrive onsite.

• Where possible, we will increase PA notifications for industry session start times.

• We will create a larger Endo Village with CPD grading.

• We will offer you discounted upgrades on your exhibition passes to day or full conference passes.

• We will open registration in advance of the main registration so that you are able to receive your welcome pack and badges prior to meeting any delegates.

• We will open two buffet stations half an hour in advance of the main delegate lunch time so you and your stand personnel have time to eat before you greet delegates.

• We will ensure the opening hours reflect the time that we believe there will be footfall in the hall and not simply keep it open ‘just in case’.

• We will keep a coffee station open for you throughout the day so you can have refreshments whenever you’re not busy networking.

• We will ensure a superfast WIFI is available to you so you can continue to work from your stand when the hall is not busy.
