Dear Colleagues & Friends,

On behalf of the Asian EUS Korea, it is our great pleasure to welcome all of you to EUS Summit 2020 which will be held in Grand Walkerhill Seoul, Korea from October 24 to 25, 2020.

Considering the uncertainty of the COVID-19 outbreak, the organizing committee decided to change the conference format from on-site meeting to combined on-line and on-site meeting this year. The majority of participants can join this meeting remotely and participate the discussion by real time chatting. The scientific sessions are allocated to reach at least two continents of the world. The morning session is targeting Latin America and Asia and the afternoon session is targeting Europe and Asia. The evening session is for Latin America, Europe and Asia.

Now EUS field is rapidly expanding to therapeutic EUS. These days, many EUS-guided interventional procedures are performed actively including EUS-guided pancreatobiliary drainage, EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy, and EUS-guided ablation therapy. In addition, Contrast-enhanced EUS (CE-EUS) is increasingly used to differentiate many lesions in the hepato-pancreato-biliary system. The organizing committee prepared sessions covering all these recent progresses.

The program of EUS Summit 2020 is composed of didactic lectures, abstract presentations and live demonstrations. Live demonstrations from world renowned centers will be the highlight of this program. We are confident that this will be a festival for the leaders of EUS globally and a good learning place for the trainee of EUS.

We look forward to seeing you in October.
Thank you very much.
