Hepatology meetings & conferences

North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition 2013 Annual Meeting

October 10-12, 2013 Chicago, Illinois

Viral Hepatitis Congress 2013

26 – 28 September 2013 at Frankfurt Messe Congress Centre, Frankfurt, Germany

Building on the success of the 2012 Congress, we aim to provide a relevant, meaningful and topical Scientific Programme reflecting the latest progress and innovations in therapeutic strategies and research in the management of viral hepatitis. The Congress will have a particular focus on developments in the practical aspects of disease management – an important consideration as we draw closer to the era of wider treatment choices and more individualised clinical decisions.

The Congress will continue to use the single session format, allowing delegates to attend all plenary presentations, and will also feature keynote lectures, clinical case studies, and industry symposia.

International GSD Conference

28-30 November 2013 Heidelberg, Germany

For the first time, an international conference will bring together liver and muscle types of glycogen storage disease (GSD). World experts will discuss the state of research and therapies for the muscle and liver types in parallel sessions. The exchange of experiences will be stimulated by plenary sessions, addressing the challenges of rare diseases, developing therapies for rare diseases, and the benefits of building communities.

Patient group representatives will complete the picture by contributing the patients' perspective. Special sessions for the most rare GSD types are an option, as well as workshops for specific topics. Scientists can expect a high-level scientific conference; patients can use it as a forum for first-hand information and community. The conference will contribute to a better understanding of the GSDs, encourage progress in therapies and disease management, and facilitate the formation of networks of both scientists and patients.

The conference program will cover the GSD liver types I/III (von Gierke/Cori disease) and the GSD muscle types II/V (Pompe/McArdle disease) as well as other rare GSD types.
