It's all about your knowledge
Our robust, self-curated program lets you take control of your curriculum. Sessions, posters and ePosters are organized by DDW Tracks, making it easy to choose the education and research that’s interesting to you. For example, all sessions related to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are tagged to the DDW Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Track. View all tracks on the DDW website.
