It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 23rd ISDE World Congress for Esophageal Diseases, taking place September 21–23, 2027, in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Building on the success of previous congresses, ISDE 2027 will bring together an international, multidisciplinary community of surgeons, gastroenterologists, oncologists, researchers and allied healthcare professionals to explore the latest advances in esophageal diseases.

As the future of esophageal care continues to evolve beyond traditional treatment approaches, collaboration across specialties has never been more important. Together, we will exchange knowledge, share new perspectives and explore innovative approaches to improving patient outcomes.

I look forward to welcoming you all to Utrecht in 2027!
