The College requests that no group schedule a press conference at the same time as any ACG-sponsored Media Briefings. Groups holding outside press conferences are responsible for securing their own space, but are welcome to coordinate with ACG VP of Meetings and Exhibitions, <a href="mailto:emccubbin@gi.org"><strong>Elaine McCubbin</strong></a>, to try to identify an appropriate venue. As a courtesy, please notify ACG of plans to hold a press conference at ACG 2024 by emailing <a href="mailto:mediaonly@gi.org"><strong>ACG Media Staff</strong></a>.</p> </div> </div> <div class="m-b border-bottom"> <p class="faq-item toggle-target-next toggle-is-toggled m-b-sm"><strong>How can reporters learn about newsworthy abstracts?</strong></p> <div class="bg-gray-lighter p-a faq-answer"> <p>To view the ACG 2024 Annual Scientific Meeting press releases and featured abstracts, visit ACG's <a href="https://gi.org/media/press-info-scientific-meeting/featured-science/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Press Info</strong></a> page.</p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </article> </main> </div> <footer id="colophon" class="footer bg-black text-inverse p-y-md" role="contentinfo"> <div class="container p-t"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6 m-b-lg m-lg-b-0"> <div class="p-lg-r-xl"> <div class="widget-column footer-widget-1"> <section id="sow-editor-2" class="widget widget_sow-editor"><div class="so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base" > <div class="siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget"> <h3 class="text-lg m-b-sm">ACG 2024</h3> <p class="m-b-sm">October 25 – 30, 2024<br /> Philadelphia, Pennsylvania</p> <p class="btn btn-sm text-inverse" style="padding:5px 10px; background-color:#841d80;"><a href="/contact-us/" style="color:#fff;">Contact Us</a></p></div> </div></section> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <div class="widget-column footer-widget-1"> <section id="text-2" class="widget widget_text"> <div class="textwidget"><h1 style="font-size:30pt"><strong>#ACG2024</strong></h1> <p class="text-white m-b-sm">Connect with us: <a href="https://twitter.com/AmCollegeGastro" class="text-mute"><svg class="icon m-l" viewBox="0 0 24 24" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M18.244 2.25h3.308l-7.227 8.26 8.502 11.24H16.17l-5.214-6.817L4.99 21.75H1.68l7.73-8.835L1.254 2.25H8.08l4.713 6.231zm-1.161 17.52h1.833L7.084 4.126H5.117z"></path></svg></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AmCollegeGastro" class="text-mute"><svg class="icon m-l"><use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#icon-facebook"></use></svg></a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ACGastroenterology" class="text-mute"><svg class="icon m-l"><use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#icon-youtube"></use></svg></a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amcollegegastro" class="text-mute"><svg class="icon m-l"><use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#icon-instagram"></use></svg></a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-college-of-gastroenterology" class="text-mute"><svg class="icon m-l"><use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#icon-linkedin"></use></svg></a> <a href="http://acgblog.org/"><img class="m-l-sm" src="/wp-content/themes/worldcongressacg2017/svg/acg-blog.svg" height="20" /></a></p> <p class="text-white m-b-sm hidden-print"><img class="m-l" src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/22Healio-logo-white.png" height="50" /></p> <p class="text-white m-b-sm visible-print-only-block"><img class="m-l" src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/22HealioGastro_4C.png" height="50" /></p></div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <hr class="hr hr-inverse"> <div class="text-center m-t-lg text-sm text-inverse"> American College of Gastroenterology | 11333 Woodglen Dr, STE 100, North Bethesda, MD 20852-3071 | p. 301.263.9000 | f. 301.263.9025 </div> <div class="text-center m-t-sm text-sm text-inverse text-mute p-x"> ©2024 <a class="text-mute text-underline" href="http://gi.org/" target="_blank">American College of Gastroenterology</a> </div> </div> </footer> <div class="modal" tabindex="-1" id="message" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-lg modal-lg"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-body bg-primary text-inverse"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-3 col-sm-12"> <div class="p-a-md bg-opaque-dark display-flex text-lg text-center flex-column text-serif justify-content:center;align-items:center;font-weight:500;"> <div class="text-center bg-white m-b m-x-auto flex-center" style="height:90px; width: 90px;border-radius:50%"> <img src="https://acgmeetings.gi.org/wp-content/themes/acgmeetings/./img/acglogo.svg" width="80" alt="ACG Logo"> </div> <h3 class="m-t-sm m-b-lg m-b-0">An important message to our valued participants</h3> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-9 col-sm-12 p-t p-lg-t-0"> <p class="m-b-sm"><b>BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SCAMS!
