Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KSGE), we are honored to welcome you to the inaugural KSGE Days 2023, the premier international conference to be held on September 8-9, 2023, at Seoul Dragon City, Korea.

KSGE is proud to have contributed greatly to the development of gastroenterology at home and abroad by hosting international conferences such as International Digestive Endoscopy Network (IDEN) and Korea Digestive Disease Week (KDDW). Now, as the KSGE Days begin, we want to create a new venue for in-depth research presentations and discussions in the field of endoscopy, especially with gastroenterology experts from all over the world including Asia Pacific region.

It is an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience, to discuss the latest innovations, and to learn from the best in the field. With the increasing importance of therapeutic endoscopy in gastroenterology, this conference will provide valuable insights into the latest advancements in the field.

KSGE Days 2023 will feature symposia, live demonstrations, joint sessions with other country’s societies, and hands-on program, all led by prominent experts in the field. KSGE Days 2023 will be differentiated from other endoscopy meetings in terms of these featured programs, particularly focused on details in real endoscopy practices. The networking opportunities will be immense, and we hope you will take advantage of this chance to connect with your peers and colleagues.

Seoul, the vibrant and dynamic capital city of Korea, is a hub of innovation and culture. It is a perfect destination for this conference, and we are delighted to host this event in this exciting city. You will have a chance to experience the rich cultural heritage, gastronomic delights, and state-of-the-art technology of Korea.

In the past few years, COVID-19 has made it difficult for people around the world to get together, but humanity has overcome difficulties and now face-to-face conferences are possible. We look forward to seeing you at KSGE Days 2023 and to sharing with you our passion for therapeutic endoscopy.

Sincerely,

• Oh Young Lee President, Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
• Geun Am Song Congress Chairman,
