The 25th anniversary Advances in IBD (AIBD) meeting, taking place December 7-9, 2026, in Orlando, will equip gastroenterologists and the full IBD care team with practical, case-based guidance that strengthens clinical decision-making and improves patient outcomes. AIBD 2026 brings providers together to confront the realities of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis management through expert-led sessions, interactive case discussions, and direct engagement with leaders shaping the future of IBD care.

Why it matters

IBD management continues to accelerate in complexity as therapeutic options expand and expectations for individualized, team-based care rise. Clinicians must interpret evolving data quickly, coordinate across specialties, and apply evidence in real clinical settings where decisions directly affect patient outcomes. The mission of Advances in IBD and the AIBD Network is to meet this need by delivering practical education and fostering collaboration across the entire IBD care team.

For 25 years, the conference has delivered trusted, clinically relevant, case-based education designed to help providers make better decisions at the point of care. The program serves a multidisciplinary audience that includes gastroenterologists, colorectal surgeons, advanced practice providers, nurses, fellows, researchers, and industry leaders.
