Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2026 (Videos)

The World’s Premier Conference on Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Endoscopy, GI Surgery, and Digestive Disease Innovation

Stay at the forefront of digestive health with Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2026, the world’s leading continuing medical education (CME) conference dedicated to gastroenterology, hepatology, gastrointestinal endoscopy, and GI surgery. Bringing together more than 13,000 physicians, researchers, surgeons, and healthcare professionals from around the world, DDW 2026 delivers the latest scientific discoveries, evidence-based clinical guidelines, and breakthrough technologies that are shaping the future of digestive disease care.

The 2026 meeting introduces a new content track-first educational approach, developed collaboratively by the four sponsoring societies—AASLD (American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases), AGA (American Gastroenterological Association), ASGE (American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy), and SSAT (Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract). This integrated format promotes multidisciplinary learning while emphasizing personalized medicine, artificial intelligence, advanced endoscopy, digestive oncology, inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic liver disease, and minimally invasive gastrointestinal therapies.

Through expert-led lectures, cutting-edge scientific sessions, live demonstrations, and case-based discussions, participants will gain practical knowledge that can be immediately applied to improve patient outcomes across the full spectrum of digestive diseases.

Course Overview

Recognized internationally as the premier educational event in digestive health, Digestive Disease Week 2026 offers a comprehensive review of the latest advances in gastroenterology, hepatology, gastrointestinal endoscopy, digestive surgery, and gastrointestinal oncology. The program reflects the rapidly evolving landscape of digestive medicine by integrating groundbreaking research, evidence-based clinical practice, emerging technologies, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

This year’s curriculum places special emphasis on the expanding role of artificial intelligence (AI) in digestive disease diagnosis and endoscopy, personalized treatment strategies, advanced therapeutic endoscopy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD/MASH), digestive oncology, obesity management, and minimally invasive GI interventions.

International experts present practical guidance on implementing the latest clinical guidelines, novel pharmacologic therapies, advanced endoscopic procedures, and precision medicine approaches that are transforming digestive healthcare worldwide.

What You’ll Learn

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Integrate artificial intelligence into endoscopic practice, histopathology, and inflammatory bowel disease assessment.
• Apply evidence-based endoscopic techniques for acute gastrointestinal bleeding, pancreatobiliary disorders, and complex colorectal polyps.
• Utilize noninvasive diagnostic tools for evaluating and monitoring MASLD and MASH.
• Implement modern treat-to-target strategies and early intervention therapies for inflammatory bowel disease.
• Evaluate current pharmacologic therapies, including GLP-1 receptor agonists and resmetirom, for metabolic liver disease.
• Apply advanced endoscopic and surgical techniques for obesity-related gastrointestinal disorders.
• Improve multidisciplinary management of digestive cancers and complex gastrointestinal diseases.
• Incorporate emerging technologies and personalized medicine into daily gastroenterology practice.

Comprehensive Topics Covered

Artificial Intelligence in Gastroenterology
