Welcome Message
About CDDW™ 2027
On behalf of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG), it is our pleasure to welcome you to Canadian Digestive Diseases Week™ (CDDW) 2027 — a notable year as we mark a renewed focus on delivering a dedicated CDDW™ conference experience for Canada’s GI community.
CDDW™ is a national platform where clinicians, researchers, trainees, and industry partners come together to advance digestive and liver health through scientific exchange, innovation, and collaboration to champion both scientific discovery and its translation into practice.
From emerging therapies to real-world patient care, our 2027 program offers continuing professional development by featuring the latest leading research, practical clinical insights, and multidisciplinary perspectives across the full spectrum of digestive health from national and international speakers.
Beyond the scientific program, CDDW™ continues to bring the GI community together at every stage of career development, from trainees to experienced professionals. Whether you are looking to expand your knowledge and network, present research, exchange ideas with colleagues, or build new collaborations, the conference offers meaningful opportunities to connect with peers from across Canada and around the world.
As we work towards CDDW™ 2027, our goal is clear: to create a focused, high-impact experience that reflects the needs of today’s GI professionals while shaping the future of digestive health in Canada and beyond.
We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver for CDDW™ 2027.
