Dear Friends & Colleagues,

EDGE 2.0 ED G UCATION IN ASTROENTEROLOGY E AND NDOSCOPY 9th November, 2025 • Ahmedabad We extend a warm greeting to all of you at this academic gathering, EDGE (Education in Gastroenterology & Endoscopy) 2.0, themed "Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Disorders: Unraveling Complexity and Unlocking Clarity." Following the resounding success of EDGE 1.0, which brought together over 1000 delegates from across the state as well as distinguished international and national faculties, this year's scientific agenda includes dedicated Medical, Surgical, and Postgraduate Programmes in line with our commitment to fostering academic excellence and interactive learning. The hepato pancreato-biliary system is one of the most complex areas of clinical medicine and surgical practice. The difficulties we face-ranging from diagnostic quandaries and treatment decision-making to management strategy innovations-demand not only scientific appearance but also a collaborative and knowledge-sharing mindset.

This conference gives a unique opportunity to debate on these challenges and work together to achieve clarity that can significantly improve patient care. In the ensuing sessions, we will hear from shelfful professionals who will offer their evidence-based guidelines and groundbreaking research. We hope to encourage deeper understanding, bridge gaps between theory and practice, and motivate academic progress in this critical topic. The extensive Postgraduate Programme includes structured case presentations, a fascinating quiz competition, and immersive hands-on clinical training. Our goal with these interactive modes is to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application, fostering analytical acumen and procedural competence among postgraduate trainees.

We extend our warm welcome and best wishes for a very fruitful, thought-provoking, and fulfilling academic career on behalf of the organizing committee.

Regards,

Organizing Team
