runs an annual scientific meeting at which many hundreds of original papers are presented to audiences approaching 2,600 professionals. It is also intimately involved in all aspects of training in British gastroenterology and original research in the field. Research is supported indirectly through the promotion of high standards and offering platforms for scientific presentation and publication, and directly through substantial financial contributions to the Society's affiliated charity, Guts UK. The BSG co-owns three journals. Gut is Europe's highest-ranked gastroenterology journal by citation-related impact factor and the Society's oldest title. Frontline Gastroenterology focuses on the clinical aspects of gastroenterology.
About
The 2nd BSG International Gastroenterology Conference: From GI Inflammation to Cancer – Connecting the Dots will take place on 8–9 May 2026 in Dubai, organized by the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG). Building on the success of the 2024 edition, this landmark meeting will bring together gastroenterologists, hepatologists, oncologists, surgeons, endocrinologists, radiologists, researchers, and industry leaders from around the world. The program is designed to explore the inflammation–cancer continuum, highlighting how chronic gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary diseases evolve into malignancy, and how innovative approaches can prevent or interrupt this process.
This joint conference aims to bridge the clinical and academic knowledge gap between gastroenterology and oncology by focusing on the inflammatory cancer continuum.Delegates will explore how chronic GI and hepatobiliary conditions evolve into malignancy and what interventions—medical, endoscopic, surgical, and pharmacologic can break that chain
