Dear colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the BeSPGHAN Fall Meeting, taking place this year on October 10th, 2026 in Silversquare Guillemins, Liège.

 

Our new venue is an inspiring, contemporary workspace located right next to the iconic Liège-Guillemins station, an architectural landmark that sets the tone for a day of innovation, exchange and forward-looking dialogue.

 

Liège itself is a vibrant and warm-hearted city, known for its dynamic cultural scene, its welcoming spirit and its rich culinary traditions. The autumn period brings the city to life, offering the perfect backdrop for our gathering.

 

This year, scientific programme will be the oesophagus: a comprehensive journey through oesophageal disorders. Throughout the day, we will explore oesophageal motility, pathology, endoscopy, and surgical management, providing a rich and multidisciplinary overview of this key area within paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition.

 

We are honoured to welcome a panel of outstanding and highly specialised speakers, including international experts who will share the latest advances and clinical perspectives. A highlight of the meeting will be an interactive round-table discussion dedicated to endoscopy, bringing together leading experts to foster interactive exchange and practical insights.

 

On behalf of the organization committee,
 
Dr. Stéphanie Colinet
Local organizer

and

Dr. Laurence Muyshont
President BESPGHAN
