Welcome to the 2024 Liver and IBD Review Symposium
The OAG International Symposium on Liver and IBD Review is now in its 17th year and will be held in-person at the Village Conference Centre and Mosaic Boutique Suites in Collingwood, Ontario. We are so pleased to be back in Collingwood where we can enjoy the activities that winter has to offer while still taking in the elements to make our Symposium a great learning opportunity for all.
This year’s Symposium has been designed to offer scientific talks given by engaging, high-calibre presenters. We have brought back our ever-popular industry sponsored Short Snapper Symposium Sessions which we hope you will find informative and will engender much discussion. As always, the goal is for delegates to take what they have learned back to their respective clinics/practices. Our Symposium mobile app is interactive so plan to download it, take some time to visit with our sponsors and have some fun while participating in our Gamification Mystery Box draw!
As always, we have coupled this scientific program with a unique social program that will bring the outdoors inside. Our President’s Après Ski Themed Party will have you in the right place at the right time. Don’t forget to dress the part and plan to have some fun!
Prize for the best ugly Christmas sweater!!
