BIRD 2024 Third Annual Congress

BIRD is offering high-profile key lectures, live Q&A sessions, plus workshops, interspersed with delicious food in the beautifully renovated Royale Belge building, nestled amongst the vibrant Sonian Forest.

In 2024, BIRD and BINAstoria will offer a choice of 3 educational training sessions in the morning of Friday 15^th November before the start of the congress.  These training sessions are available to all healthcare professionals participating in the Congress and to the sponsors of the educational training sessions.  A small fee of €25 will be asked for each participant to ensure access to the Educational Training.  

We have built some time into the Friday program from 5:15PM - 7:00PM to enable you to digest the lectures and to have some free time before the conference dinner on Friday evening. 

The Conference Dinner will take place at Mix Brussels with the reception to start at 7:00pm and dinner and good music to follow.  To reserve your seat at the Conference Dinner, a fee will be asked of both healthcare professionals and industry representatives (see table below).

Registration for the BIRD 2024 Third Annual Congress is open to general gastroenterologists, trainees in gastroenterology and internal medicine, IBD scientists, IBD ideologists, nurses interested in IBD, dieticians, psychologists, study coordinators and other IBD-related professionals. The program will be geared towards this broad spectrum of IBD health professionals, with Educational Trainings and Workshops dedicated to both experienced and novice IBD practitioners, maximizing the interaction between the various players that work with IBD patients.
