Gastro 2020

Gastro 2020, in Prague, Czech Republic

Dear Friends, Dear Colleagues,

I am extremely honored to announce that the World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO) appointed the Czech Society of Gastroenterology to host its biyearly international conference, Gastro 2020, in Prague, Czech Republic.

As an event organized jointly by WGO and the Czech Society of Gastroenterology together with the Czech Society of Hepatology, Czech Society of Gastrointestinal Oncology, and Czech Society of Surgery, Gastro 2020, is to be held in 3–5 December 2020.

We are definitely honored by this decision and consider it an exceptional challenge to help to accomplish the mission of WGO and take this opportunity to exchange the thoughts, experience, comments and information on all current major issues of gastroenterology and hepatology with respect to region-specific socioeconomic background as well as cultural and historical aspects.

As you may know, Prague is a city with a unique potential to host such top international events.

The congress is to be held in a brand-new spacious and multi-functional congress venue. Prague is easily accessible to visitors coming both from nearby and distant destinations, it prides itself a well-organized and efficient city transport system and a sufficient number of hotels of all categories. Last but not least, Prague has the reputation of a most attractive, friendly and safe city for tourists from all over the world.

Looking forward to welcoming you to Prague for an exciting and interactive meeting.
