WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIR

Dear Colleague,

I would like to invite you to attend the Ontario Association of Gastroenterology (OAG) 30th Annual Conference and Business Meeting at Hotel X Toronto and the Automotive Centre Exhibition Place. This year's conference celebrates 30 years of OAG advocating for gastroenterologists across Ontario, setting standards in gastroenterology, and providing high-quality continuing medical education, all while bringing colleagues together for an enjoyable and meaningful weekend. Your conference committee has been hard at work organizing an engaging program of speakers and topics designed to address gaps in knowledge, as well as planning social events that provide opportunities to reconnect with colleagues and interact with our invited faculty.

I encourage you to take this opportunity not only to explore Toronto, but also to strengthen existing relationships and build new connections with members of our specialty from across the province. I would also like to thank our sponsors for their continued investment in our educational initiatives and encourage you to visit their exhibits to show your appreciation for their commitment to OAG.

As always, we greatly appreciate your time, effort, and ongoing support in attending OAG meetings. We hope this milestone marks the beginning of another 30 years of collaboration, advocacy, and professional growth. To commemorate this special anniversary, we have arranged a small gift for attendees as a token of appreciation and in celebration of this important moment in OAG's history.

I look forward to seeing you at the conference and celebrating this milestone together.

Best regards, 
ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF GASTROENTEROLOGY
