We are thrilled to announce that the 2024 AUSPEN conference will be hosted in sunny Brisbane 14-16 November 2024.

We’ve got a fantastic program planned that is set to celebrate the many faces and facets of clinical nutrition, from consumer led research and the future directions of nutrition care to specialist workshops on paediatrics and intestinal failure, to name a few.

Set on the background of the Brisbane River and the vibrant Southbank area, the Brisbane Convention Centre will be bursting with sessions and workshops from local and national leaders in clinical nutrition.  Our program will inspire and equip you to progress your clinical practice and research projects, while continuing to build your professional networks.

We’re excited to announce the wonderful Dr Carla Prado as our keynote speaker.  Dr Prado is the Director of the Human Nutrition Research Unit, at Alberta Canada.  She is a leader in body composition research, with a particular interest in how body composition and sarcopenia impacts cancer recurrence, treatment, and survival, as well as its impact on other chronic diseases. In addition to her nutritional expertise, Dr Prado was recognized in Canada’s Top 40 under 40 Awards – this is one speaker you will not want to miss!

So, block out your calendars, put in your leave requests, because we can’t wait to see you in Brissy in November 2024.

Welcome Messages from Oded Zmora, ESCP President:

Dear Colleagues, Members of the ESCP

It is my great pleasure to invite you to the ESCP’s 19th Scientific Annual Meeting, which will take place on 25-27 September 2024 in Thessaloniki, Greece.

If you are truly a colorectal surgeon, a surgeon with special interest in colorectal surgery, or any related healthcare practitioner, this meeting is a must for you. The exciting scientific programme includes cutting edge topics in colorectal surgery, which balances well-known key opinion leaders and young stars, joining us from around the world. Our ESCP committees have worked tirelessly to provide the best scientific, educational research and guidelines content, resulting in a high-quality programme that will be of great interest to all participants.

This meeting is also a great opportunity to interact with your colleagues who share the same professional and personal interests, as well as with our colleagues from industry. The programme allows plenty of time for networking and includes several interesting industry symposia.

The ESCP held its annual meeting in Dublin, Ireland in 2022, and in Vilnius, Lithuania last year. Both were great successes, with a high rate of satisfaction as reflected in the attendees’ feedback. Few issues required some improvement, and the ESCP Executive and related committees have worked hard to make this year’s conference even better. Our members deserve nothing but the best, and we expect a superb meeting.

For those of you who unfortunately will not be able to attend in person, we will broadcast the meeting this year in virtual format as well. I urge everyone to participate in person, but if you can’t, please join us online.

I personally look forward to seeing each of you this September.

Oded Zmora, ESCP President

DEAR COLLEAGUES,

On behalf of the Italian Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (SINPE), we would like to invite you to the 46th ESPEN Congress 2024, which will be held for the 4th time in Italy.

After the congresses in Milan (1984), Rome (1995), and Florence (2008) the Italian society would like to welcome you to Milan again. Milan is Italy’s city of the future, a fast-paced metropolis where creativity is big business and looking good is an art form. Ruled by the Caesars, the Spanish, Napoléon, the Austro-Hungarians, Milan has an ancient and fascinating history. After the unification of Italy in 1861, it also became a key industrial and cultural centre – a title it still holds today.

In close collaboration with the ESPEN Committee Members, we have developed an attractive program that aims to be a landmark in ESPEN’s continuing effort to improve Nutritional Care and -Education.

We are convinced that the programme of ESPEN 2024 offers a great opportunity for physicians, dietitians, pharmacists, nutritionists, scientists and nurses involved in the field of nutrition and metabolism to meet and discuss cutting edge science in an informal atmosphere, strengthening old and sparkling new collaborations.

We sincerely hope to meet you in Milan in 2024!

Luca Gianotti
