Digestive Disease Week® (DDW)
Digestive Disease Week® (DDW)
In 2021, Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) moves online as a fully virtual meeting with slightly new dates: May 21-23, 2021. For more than 50 years, the digestive disease community has connected over the best science, education and networking at DDW, and we’re confident this year will be no exception. In fact, we’re excited by opportunities the new format provides to learn, share and connect with each other.
DDW 2020 abstracts now available
The DDW ePosters and ePapers site is now available, featuring free access to all accepted abstracts. Look for additional presentations uploaded by presenters. The online portal is available at no charge to access at your convenience. You can also view abstracts in Gastroenterology.
