Words of Welcome! Welcome to EUS2016 in Budapest! The EUS symposium first started as a small meeting to discuss how EUS could grow into an essential tool in gastroenterology. Now that EUS has become a key pilar in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, the EUS symposium s purpose is not only to educate on basic EUS, but also to discuss recent progress made in the field and the future improvements that are being investigated. There were more than 600 participants at EUS2012 (Russia) and EUS2014 (India), so obviously, EUS symposium is one of the most important events for many endosonographers! Passing on the enthusiasm we had at our last meeting, the 20th International Symposium on Endoscopic Ultrasonography will be held in Budapest, Hungary. We will focus on presenting the latest EUS topics and many live demonstrations covering both basic and advanced EUS procedures. Since EUS-FNA is one of the most important procedures for EUS practice, we will include cytopathology topics to discuss in detail what key factors are needed to obtain the best quality FNAs for our histopathology colleagues. Some hands-on training in ROSE will be available if you are tempted to increase your EUS-FNA yield by this first-line evaluation of the quality of your sampling. EUS-guided procedures are no longer the future of EUS but rather the present. We will explore how in certain cases of biliary obstruction, radiological drainage as well as even ERCP can now be replaced by the latest developments in EUS-guided bile duct drainage. We are convinced that this intensive and comprehensive 2-day meeting will guide you to perfect your daily EUS practice as well as uncover the future of EUS in the world. It is our great honor to invite you to this exciting meeting. We hope to see you at EUS2016 in Budapest, Hungary! Bertrand Napoleon István Rácz Pietro Fusaroli László Herszényi 3
