Be advised that there are several not-approved registration and housing sites that are posting information for the 2020 meeting. These sites are also using the Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) name to solicit potential attendees and exhibitors with fraudulent offers via email. For information regarding registration and hotel blocks, please use our website only.
Here are some of the false sites that we have identified so far. These sites may also appear as first-page search results for internet searches related to DDW or Digestive Disease Week. However, they are not third-party providers and are not affiliated with DDW in any way.
