Dear colleagues & friends,

It is an honor and a pleasure to invite you to come

to the 12th edition of Amsterdam Live Endoscopy

on Monday and Tuesday 17 & 18 December 2018.

Amsterdam Live Endoscopy has become one of

the premier live-endoscopy meetings in Europe

with around 500 participants each year. We focus

on demonstrating innovative techniques as well

as teaching the best way to perform standard and

advanced interventions in gastrointestinal endos-

copy. Our faculty is selected not only on their

technical skills but also on their educational skills.

The program consists of 8 sessions of live endos-

copy alternated with Clinical Update Sessions as

well as brief presentations on recent European

guidelines. In order protect our patients’ best

interest we follow the guidelines of the esge.

Our 2018 guest faculty will consist of:

Pradeep Bhandari (Portsmouth, uk), Gerd Bouma

(Amsterdam, The Netherlands), Philip Chiu (Hong

Kong, People’s Republic of China), Hendrik van

Dullemen (Groningen, the Netherlands), Horst

Neuhaus (Düsseldorf, Germany) and Amrita Sethi

(New York, usa). Our local faculty is well known

around the world and includes Jacques Bergman,

Evelien Dekker, Jeanin van Hooft and many others.

The entire amc faculty, fellows and nursing staff

of the Academic Medical Center look forward to

welcoming you in Amsterdam. We will do the best

we can to make your visit highly educational as

well as pleasant. Our aim is that you will go home

after the meeting with reinforced knowledge of

the evidence-based endoscopic techniques that

we all practice daily in our hospitals and some

new impressions on the future of gastrointestinal

endoscopy.

We hope to see you in Amsterdam on

17 & 18 December, 2018.
