Dear colleagues,
Dear friends,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 20th ZAGREB ENDO LIVE (Algorithms in GI endoscopy, ERCP&EUS) symposium. In the last 20 years, innovative disruptive technologies have brought significant progress in the field of endoscopy and enabled advanced visualization and characterization of the mucosa, transluminal procedures in endoscopic ultrasound, advanced endoscopic resection techniques and endoscopy of the third space. These continuous forward moments are the main reason this symposium was established 20 years ago. However, the focus of our symposium is not only on advanced but also on basic endoscopy with the goal to highlight almost all aspects of modern endoscopy in academic centers as well in community hospitals. By exchanging knowledge, experiences and adopting new technologies, we improve and standardize endoscopy practice in our community.
The first day of the symposium is aimed at the generation of young gastroenterologists who are embarking on an exciting journey of endoscopy. The format of this part was conceived through lectures of young gastroenterologists in the field, case-based sessions, endoscopic tips and tricks lectures and panel discussions.
The second day features live endoscopy demonstrations. These sessions aim to demonstrate most recent advances in GI endoscopy, EUS and ERCP coupled with insights from leading experts in the field. Live demonstrations are patient oriented and consider evidence-based medicine as well as experts opinions.
With our varied program of lectures, discussions and live video presentations, we provide an ideal professional learning environment.
The faculty, the symposium organization and our team are pleased to welcome you!
We wish you an interesting and enjoyable stay in Zagreb!
On behalf of the Organizing Committee,
Mirjana Kalauz and Pave Markos
