2026 Innovations Symposium
Join us on July 19-21, 2026, at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco to hear the latest in Inflammatory Bowel Disease research and connect with scientists from around the world.
Our 2025 Symposium returned to Hawai`i. It was enriched by a sense of community and shared purpose that rekindled passion and seeded collaborations. The natural beauty on O`ahu offered researchers respite and rejuvenation at a time when science and research funding are under attack.
Our 2024 Symposium drew 160 researchers, clinicians and industry professionals to San Francisco for two days of exchanging ideas and networking. The gathering was marked by fresh insights, cutting-edge ideas and inspiring messages to accelerate improvements to patient health and well-being.
Coming together in person again for the first time since 2019 energized our 2023 Innovations Symposium. Attendees’ enthusiasm for face-to-face conversations animated our twice-daily poster and networking sessions, which play an important role in seeding new ideas and collaborations.
