About IBD Update

IBD Update is a co-developed program that has been running since 2016. IBD Update provides easy access to high-quality slides and cutting-edge data in IBD, that focus on key scientific data from leading international congresses – ECCO, DDW and UEGW.

Takeda Canada supported the program as the primary co-developer from its inception in 2016 to the IBD Update at ECCO and DDW programs in 2024.

As of the IBD Update at UEGW 2024, the program has evolved to a multi-sponsor format and was co-developed with the support of the CAG and funding from several industry partners.
