Dear Colleague,
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we invite you to attend the 2007 Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation National Research and Clinical Conference/6th Annual Advances in the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. More than 500 people attended the meeting last year and a record number of abstracts were submitted. We are looking forward this year to continued growth and another exceptional educational meeting.
Imedex and the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation have collaborated in the development of this meeting to meet the educational needs of all healthcare professionals who treat and manage patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. The scientific agenda follows a two-track format where clinicians and researchers participate in separate sessions, coming together for presentations on advances in the therapy of IBD and advances in translational research, along with selected original basic and clinical research abstract presentations.
Expanded meet-the-professor sessions this year will provide each attendee the opportunity to interact with the thought leaders in IBD research. Case-based clinical breakout sessions will provide valuable and practical take-home information. In addition, this year’s program features a new Allied Health Professionals Symposium on Friday afternoon. Satellite symposia on selected educational topics will round out the program this year with a welcome symposium on Thursday evening.
An expert faculty, comprised of the foremost bench-to-bedside leaders from across the country, will participate in the scientific program. Our ultimate goal is to provide you with the information needed to optimize care of your patients and to direct your attention to those advances and breakthroughs that are important for you to know about.
We are certain that you will find this meeting to be informative and enjoyable. If you are interested in presenting your research data at this year’s meeting, we encourage you to submit your abstracts online by September 14, 2007. We look forward to seeing you in December!
Sincerely,
Richard P. MacDermott, MD
Stephen B. Hanauer, MD
