C O N F E R E N C E G O A L S The conference s main goal is to summarize the state-of-the-art and the future of some relevant topics of gastroenterologic interest. As we all know, it is not unusual even for gastroenterology specialists to focus their interest, and therefore their participation, on very specific areas in the vast field of the gastroenterologic body of knowledge. For this reason, those whose principal field of interest happens to be hepatology tend to gravitate almost exclusively around hepatology conventions, while endoscopists are inclined to attend endoscopy events. This conference, striving to emphasize the singleness of the gastroenterologic science, deals in the tree sessions in which it is divided with reveral aspects of the digestive system diseases in order to provide a beneficial and rewarding update even those of us who rarely stray away from their chosen area of interest. The topics have been selected to fullfil the update request made by the physicians at the Gastroenterology Department ad the Bolzano Hospital, and they will presented in the form of lectures according to knowledge based on evidence. The lectures, given by some of the most experienced international specialists, will try to provide and exhaustive picture of the present body of knowledge. Each lecture will be followed by an ample discussion to which other experts in that particular area will also contribute.

It is surrounded by rolling hills, overlooked by that incomparable Dolomite backdrop, Il Catinaccio-Rosengarten. Thanks to its geographical position at the centre of Europe (it is about the same distance form Paris, Berlin, Vienna or Naples) on the northsouth axis along the Brenner Railway (Munich-Verona) and the Brenner Motorway, Bolzano-Bozen can easily be reached from all directions, by car or by train.

A note about names: don t get confused! South Tyrol is a trilingual province. All Towns, villages, rivers, valleys, most streets and buildings have at least two names, an Italian one and a German one, while those in valleys where Ladin is spoken have a third one as well. From 29th November to 23rd December, in Walther Square will take place the traditional appointment of advent: the Christmas Market with all the typical atmosphere of the preparation of Christmas.
