About
Researchers and clinicians from academia, government and industry as well as trainees interested in IBD research are invited to attend the Innovations Symposium. By bringing together noted experts with diverse perspectives, this unique event has a powerful and lasting impact on both participants and the research in which we are all invested. We keep it small so you can connect with others, exchange ideas and plan future collaborations.

- Renting a car through your service of choice.
- Scheduling a ride through Lyft or Uber in advance. Please note that availability may be limited, especially from the hotel back to the airport so it’s important to plan ahead.
