SUMMARY:2nd Edition of International Conference on Gastroenterology
DESCRIPTION:MASLD/NAFLD & Metabolic Liver Disease\nMASLD/NAFLD & Metabolic Liver Disease encompasses a spectrum of liver disorders driven primarily by metabolic dysfunction\, including obesity\, insulin resistance\, type 2 diabetes mellitus\, dyslipidemia\, and sedentary lifestyle. Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)\, formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)\, is now the most common chronic liver condition globally and a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality. The disease ranges from simple hepatic steatosis to the more severe form\, metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH)\, which is characterized by inflammation\, hepatocellular injury\, and progressive fibrosis that can culminate in cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The pathogenesis of MASLD is multifactorial\, involving insulin resistance\, altered lipid metabolism\, mitochondrial dysfunction\, oxidative stress\, gut–liver axis dysregulation\, and genetic susceptibility. Lifestyle factors\, particularly unhealthy dietary patterns and physical inactivity\, play a central role in disease initiation and progression. Diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical risk assessment\, noninvasive biomarkers\, imaging modalities such as ultrasound and elastography\, and\, in selected cases\, liver biopsy for staging disease severity.

SUMMARY:Advanced Advocacy Academy
DESCRIPTION:The Advanced Advocacy Academy (A3) was created to close a critical gap in the liver community: patients and caregivers needed the skills\, knowledge\, and confidence to advocate effectively—and to help drive meaningful change in healthcare. \n\nA3 equips advocates with practical training in communication\, policy engagement\, and strategic storytelling so they can influence decisions that impact liver health at the local\, national\, and global levels. Participants learn how to navigate complex healthcare systems\, engage policymakers\, and move from personal experience to policy impact. \nSince launching in 2017\, A3 has grown from a small cohort of 17 advocates into a powerful\, international network advancing liver health across the U.S.\, the U.K.\, and beyond.

SUMMARY:The National Health Council’s (NHC) 2026 Washington Representatives Retreat - Annapolis\, MD
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nBarriers across the health care system make it harder for patients to get the care they need. Coverage gaps\, high costs\, complex navigation\, and administrative burdens can delay treatment\, interrupt care\, or put it out of reach. \nThe National Health Council’s (NHC) 2026 Washington Representatives Retreat brings NHC members together to consider how policy developments across the health care landscape can reinforce or reduce these barriers. Through candid discussion\, practical learning\, and peer collaboration\, participants will reflect on the lessons of 2026\, deepen their professional development\, prepare for the opportunities and challenges of 2027\, and identify practical solutions the patient community can advance together. \nAt this year’s Retreat\, participants will: \n\n\n\nConnect policy to patient impact: Examine how individual policy developments and systemic barriers combine to shape patients’ experiences.\nLook ahead to 2027: Assess emerging policy developments and what they could mean for patients and patient organizations.\nStrengthen advocacy: Exchange practical tools\, messages\, and approaches with colleagues across the patient community.\nIdentify opportunities for shared action: Build relationships\, compare perspectives\, and consider where patient organizations can work together to drive needed change.\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\nThe Washington Representatives Retreat is designed for policy\, advocacy\, regulatory\, and government affairs professionals at all career stages from NHC member patient organizations and partners of patient organizations including: \n\n\n\nSenior Level Professionals and their teams from patient advocacy organizations and nonprofit groups who are instrumental in shaping health policy\, driving patient-centered initiatives\, and advancing legislative and regulatory priorities through active engagement with Congress and federal agencies.\nEarly-career professionals from NHC member organizations looking to deepen their understanding of health policy\, expand their professional network\, and gain insights into the current advocacy landscape.\n\n\n\nNHC business and industry members and non-member for-profit organizations may participate through event sponsorship. Learn more about sponsorship. \nQuestions?\nFor questions regarding registration or event logistics\, please contact Racquel Codling\, NHC’s Senior Director of Meetings & Events.

SUMMARY:EASL Steatotic Liver Disease Summit 2027 - Berlin
DESCRIPTION:The EASL Steatotic Liver Disease Summit 2027 comprises two complementary parts. \nPart 1: EASL MASH Innovation and Implementation Roadmap (10 February) brings together stakeholders to define implementation priorities and regulatory perspectives for MASH care across Europe. \nPart 2: Main Steatotic Liver Disease Summit Programme (11–13 February) is a three-day translational meeting that follows steatotic liver disease across its full continuum — from population policy to the patient in clinic\, and from tissue microenvironment to the single stressed hepatocyte and its organelles. \nAcross ten thematic sessions\, three State-of-the-Art lectures\, a dedicated best-abstract session\, and eight ePoster sessions\, the programme deliberately refuses to separate “basic” from “clinical.” The same disease spectrum — MASLD\, MetALD and ALD — is interrogated at every scale by epidemiologists\, hepatologists\, pathologists\, and cell and mechano-biologists. \nThe premise is that SLD is now a public-health problem with unresolved mechanistic and methodological foundations. The Summit therefore pairs the field’s most pressing questions (Has renaming the disease changed anything? Can a liver stiffness score predict outcomes? Can we still justify placebo arms?) with the biological and mechanistic insights that will shape future answers. Designed for all stakeholders in the SLD community\, the Summit provides a comprehensive update on the latest evidence\, emerging data\, and key developments across the field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScope\n\n\nThe Summit covers steatotic liver disease across the entire metabolic–alcohol spectrum\, spanning epidemiology and health policy\, stigma and the patient voice\, nutrition across the life course\, diagnostics (histology\, digital/AI pathology\, elastography\, fibrosis biomarkers)\, the cellular and microenvironmental mechanisms of progression\, advanced/decompensated disease\, clinical-trial methodology\, and current and emerging therapeutics. \n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\nOn completion\, participants should be able to: \n\nAppraise the practical impact of the WHO resolution and the SLD nomenclature change on health systems\, stigma and case-finding across specialties.\nIntegrate multidisciplinary management of patients with SLD.\nIntegrate nutritional assessment and intervention into SLD care across subtypes and generations\, including AUD and adolescent populations.\nCritically evaluate diagnostic tools — biopsy\, AI-assisted histology\, 3D tissue mapping\, vibration-controlled and shear-wave elastography\, and serum fibrosis markers — for their real prognostic and monitoring value.\nDifferentiate the cellular and microenvironmental mechanisms (macrophage niches\, matrix stiffness\, organelle crosstalk\, hepatocyte heterogeneity\, mitochondrial signaling) that drive SLD progression.\nApply current management principles for advanced SLD\, including portal hypertension\, prevention of decompensation and re-compensation\, and the role of bariatric surgery.\nAnalyse the methodological challenges of MASH trials — placebo arms\, screen failure\, non-response — and interpret responder definitions.\nSummarise approved and pipeline therapies for MASH and ALD\, and the complex problem of treating MetALD.\n\n\n\nTop reasons to attend\n\n\n\n\nTo receive a comprehensive update on the latest scientific\, clinical\, and translational developments in Steatotic Liver Disease\, including MASLD\, MetALD\, and ALD.\nTo engage in thought-provoking discussions with international experts on the evolving landscape of SLD—from public health to precision diagnostics and emerging therapies.\nTo present your research\, gain valuable feedback\, and connect with peers and mentors who can inspire your next career steps.\nTo meet and learn from Key Opinion Leaders shaping the future of SLD research\, clinical care\, and policy worldwide.
