BIRD 2025 Fourth Annual Congress

In 2025 we will again return to Mix Brussels for our annual Congress.  BIRD will offer high-profile key lectures, live Q&A sessions, plus workshops, interspersed with delicious food.

In 2025, we have expanded the program even more to bring a more diverse and customizable experience.  We will offer a choice of 4 educational training sessions on Friday morning, open to all healthcare professionals and to the sponsors of the educational training program.  A small fee of €25 will be asked for each participant to ensure access to these sessions.  On Saturday morning we have expanded the offering to include 5 interactive workshops, of which healthcare professionals participating in the Congress may choose two sessions to attend.  These workshops are not accessible to representatives of the pharmaceutical industry.  

We have built some time into the Friday program from 5:30PM - 7:00PM to enable you to digest the lectures and to have some free time before the conference dinner on Friday evening. 

The Conference Dinner will take place at Mix Brussels with the reception to start at 7:00pm and dinner and good music to follow.  To reserve your seat at the Conference Dinner, a fee will be asked of both healthcare professionals and industry representatives (see table below).

Registration for the BIRD 2025 Fourth Annual Congress is open to general gastroenterologists, trainees in gastroenterology and internal medicine, IBD scientists, IBD ideologists, nurses interested in IBD, dieticians, psychologists, study coordinators and other IBD-related professionals. The program will be geared towards this broad spectrum of IBD health professionals, with Educational Trainings and Workshops dedicated to both experienced and novice IBD practitioners, maximizing the interaction between the various players that work with IBD patients.
