Dear Colleagues:

The International Gastrointestinal Electrophysiology Society (iGES), formerly International Electrogastrography Society will have its annual workshop in conjunction with 2013 Digestive Diseases Week. On behalf of the Society, we would like to invite you to attend the following meeting and submit your abstracts for oral and poster presentations, and possible awards.

  1. We will have a dinner meeting at Clarion Inn & Suites in Orlando, Florida on Sat, May 18th, 2013 (the first evening of the DDW meeting). We will start at 5pm and finish before 10pm.

  2. There will be a registration fee of $20. Please bring a check or cash. Please inform Jiande Chen via email Jianchen@utmb.edu if you plan to attend the meeting as soon as possible.

  3. Please submit your abstracts to us at Jianchen@utmb.edu using the DDW format (see attached sample at the end of this email) before March 18th, 2013. The abstracts will be reviewed for oral and poster presentations and possible awards; however, they will NOT be published. If your abstracts are already accepted by DDW, you can still submit them to our meeting, but please indicate whether it is oral or poster presentation at DDW. If the first author of an abstract is from a student, fellow, post-doc or junior faculty (assistant professor or instructor) and you are interested in being considered for Young Investigator’s Award, please indicate in your abstract or in your email when you submit your abstract.

  4. Awards:

    1. Alvarez Award (every abstract is qualified so you do not need to apply for it)

    2. Robert Stern Award (Best of Young Investigator’)

    3. Young Investigator Award (please indicate in the abstract that you are qualified)
