Our Annual International Symposium on Liver and IBD Review is now in its 12th year. We will once again host this event at the beautiful Westin Trillium House – Blue Mountain in Collingwood, Ontario. This Symposium has been designed to offer riveting, thought-provoking scientific talks given by engaging, high-calibre, dynamic international and Canadian speakers. We have, once again, coupled this scientific event with a truly unique social program that will surely bring back memories as we navigate this vast country, from coast to coast, through its food and culture. Our President’s Canadiana themed party promises to tantalize your taste buds with its sumptuous pan-Canadian menu, while you tap your feet to the dulcet tones of Canadian music and soak up our indigenous culture. Dr. Rasul has written the correct prescription that will stimulate your mind and sense of frolic during these cold winter months.
