It was great to join ESGE Days 2025 in Barcelona together with our research team. Presenting in the presidential session was an incredible experience that allowed us to share and discuss our research with the international endoscopy community. I would recommend submitting an abstract to ESGE Days to anyone looking to increase the visibility of their work.

Ilse Beaufort, the Netherlands

Presenting in the presidential session was an incredible opportunity, not only for the visibility it brought to my research, but also for the opportunity to engage with the endoscopic community through thought-provoking questions and valuable networking afterwards. I strongly encourage all researchers to submit an abstract to ESGE Days and make the most of this exceptional experience.

ESGE Days 2025 was a great experience for me and my team. The presidential session was a good opportunity to show our research and we had wonderful conversations with collegues from Spain, India, Netherlands and Germany. We've already made plans to be at ESGE Days 2026 in Milan.

Daniel Schmitz, Germany

Presenting in the presidential session in Barcelona was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It offered a global stage to showcase our practice-changing RCT on the timing of ERCP in acute cholangitis — research from India making its mark worldwide.

Hardik Rughwani, India

I was very honored to be selected as one of the top three abstract winners and to present my research at the opening session of ESGE Days 2024 in Berlin. It was an incredible opportunity to share my work with esteemed colleagues and contribute to the ongoing dialogue in our field.

Man Wai Chan, the Netherlands

I was very grateful to have our paper picked as one of the top 4 abstracts and being able to present it during ESGE Days 2022 in Prague, because it gave our paper excellent exposure and led to the kind of discussions we wanted our paper to bring forward with the target audience.

Ishita Barua, Norway

I was honoured to be selected as a Top 4 abstract presenter at ESGE Days. I feel that this is a rapidly growing event, providing great exposure and feedback for research, and promoting fruitful interaction with international colleagues.

Paola Soriani, Italy

Presenting in the opening session was an amazing experience and I thank ESGE Days for giving me this opportunity. The conference format is extremely well crafted, optimally suited for endoscopy enthusiasts like myself, and a rich ground for the exchange of ideas and collaboration. I would recommend all endoscopy researchers to this congress for its rich content and focused approach.

Jayanta Samanta, India

It was truly an honour for me to be part of the opening session. Wonderful experience of sharing our study in such an important meeting. Looking forward to next year's ESGE days!

Julio G Velasquez-Rodriguez, Spain

I was very pleased to receive the award and the work has gained a clear appreciation through this. By speaking at the congress it was very easy to make new contacts and I can only recommend it.
