Dear Colleagues,Welcome to Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2018! It's been a pleasure creating a great experience for you. We’re excited to share with you the AGA Highlights at DDW 2018 booklet, showcasing AGA’s wide array of educational and scientific programming being offered at DDW.

To reflect the growing, diverse interests of AGA members, two sections have undergone name changes this year. The Intestinal Disorders (ID) section is now the Basic & Clinical Intestinal Disorders (BCID) section. The Imaging & Advanced Technology (IAT) section is now the Imaging, Endoscopy & Advanced Technology (IEAT) section.

To ensure that the needs of both clinical practitioners and basic scientists are met at DDW 2018, the new Clinical Practitioner Zone and the Basic Science Zone will provide clinical practitioners and basic scientists with dedicated sessions in neighboring rooms at the convention center. Additionally, daily basic science themes will once again be spread across the four days of the meeting. Easily locate these sessions and navigate to other DDW sessions of interest by searching the new Clinical Practice Track or the Basic Science Track within the DDW Online Planner and Mobile App. AGA clinical practitioner and basic science lecture sessions are denoted with these special icons on pages 10– 17 of this booklet.

AGA will continue to offer daily poster tours on basic science and clinical topics in the Poster Hall. In tandem, DDW will hold ePoster presentations in the DDW ePosters Theater of the Poster Hall, allowing attendees further access to the latest science and research, free of charge!

Throughout the year, all four sponsoring societies have been focused on collaboration to reduce program overlaps. AGA council sections worked together to increase their cross-sectional descriptors to reduce redundancy. AGA will also host the joint DDW diversity session, Ensuring Diversity in Gastroenterology: Practical Approaches for GI Societies, Institutions and Practices on Sunday, June 3, 4 to 5:30 p.m. AGA and SSAT have partnered to host the Academic Debates on Monday, June 4, 3:45 to 5 p.m.

If you have not already registered for DDW, we encourage you to do so today. You can view detailed information about the meeting and register online at www.ddw.org. We look forward to seeing you in Washington, D.C.

Sincerely,

Maria T. Abreu, MD, AGAF AGA Institute Council Chair

Rhonda F. Souza, MD, AGAF AGA Institute Council Chair-Elect
