Postgraduate Course in IBD 2026

Dear Colleagues,

It is our greatest pleasure to invite you to the 10th Postgraduate Course in IBD 2026.

Mark your agenda on 3 - 5 December 2026, and register now for this outstanding event.

Same tradition - new venue: After many inspiring years at Wolfsberg, the Postgraduate Course is moving to a new home: Campus Hotel Hertenstein, Weggis. This remote congress hotel is the perfect setting to continue our tradition of excellence.

The program once again offers a wide range of training formats: Interactive hands-on workshops on Thursday, state-of-the-art lectures on Friday and case-based tutorials on Saturday are fixed parts of this three-day medical educational event. As in previous years, the Postgraduate Course will also be available as interactive live-stream on Friday.

We are looking forward to spending three inspiring and truly instructive days with you.

Kind regards,
Gerhard Rogler, Stephan Vavricka, Luc Biedermann, Petr Hrúz
