IBD Forum 2026

Zunfthaus zur Zimmerleuten

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to the next edition of the IBD FORUM, taking place on June 23, 2026.

The IBD FORUM is an interactive, practice-oriented educational format in which real-life clinical cases from everyday practice are discussed in collaboration with leading experts. The latest clinical data and evolving treatment strategies are integrated into focused lectures and interactive case discussions. Participants are warmly encouraged to actively contribute their own cases and questions.

We are delighted to welcome Professor Bram Verstockt from the University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium, as our guest speaker. In his lecture, Professor Verstockt will discuss the latest developments in IBD in depth and translate recent therapeutic advances into practical, patient-focused perspectives. He will highlight the importance of intestinal ultrasound and explain how, in the context of modern treatment paradigms, proactive and comprehensive patient monitoring has become essential.

This session offers an excellent opportunity for open discussion and direct interaction with an international leader in the field.

We look forward to welcoming you to this interactive and practice-oriented educational event.

Gerhard Rogler, Stephan Vavricka, Bernhard Sauter, Luc Biedermann und Pascal Frei
