Looking Forward to the 2026 NASPGHAN Annual Meeting
Next week, our NASPGHAN community will gather in my hometown of San Diego for what promises to be an extraordinary Annual Meeting. With more than 260 speakers and moderators representing over 110 institutions, attendees joining us from more than 12 countries around the world, and record registration to date of more than 2,000 preregistered attendees, this year’s meeting reflects the remarkable strength, breadth, and engagement of our community.

An exciting and diverse program offers something for everyone, with outstanding science and education alongside opportunities to connect, collaborate, mentor, celebrate, and simply enjoy being together. From innovative programming and interactive sessions to gatherings across career stages, the meeting offers many ways for members to engage.
We will also celebrate excellence across our field, recognizing our award recipients and the many individuals whose contributions advance pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition. None of this would be possible without our speakers, abstract presenters and reviewers, meeting planners, volunteers, NASPGHAN staff, and countless others who have contributed to this meeting.
We look forward to welcoming you to San Diego for a memorable week celebrating our science, our community, and our shared future.
