This year’s meeting focuses on colorectal disease at the crossroads – learning from the past, to create a better future.

We are grateful to all our sponsors and exhibitors (which includes pharmaceutical companies), whose funding have contributed towards this independently produced meeting and programme. Sponsors and exhibitors have not had any editorial input or control over the agenda, scientific content development or choice of speakers.

Welcome to the 24th Annual Frontiers in Colorectal and Intestinal Disease.

It is my great pleasure, as Dean of St Mark’s Academic Institute, to welcome you to London for the 24th Annual Frontiers in Colorectal and Intestinal Disease Congress.

This year’s meeting focuses on colorectal disease at the crossroads – learning from the past, to create a better future. We are delighted to host participants both here in London and around the world online. With high-quality facilities and streaming, we aim to provide every attendee with an excellent experience, whether joining us in person or virtually. The programme embraces a wide range of multidisciplinary perspectives—medical, endoscopic, radiological, oncological, surgical, nursing, and nutritional—while ensuring that the patient voice is clearly heard. Over three days, the Congress will explore topics central to everyday clinical practice and cutting-edge research.

You can find the latest programme on ourregistration page (https://stmarksacademicinstitute.org.uk/courses/frontiers-in-colorectal-and-intestinal-disease2026/).

This year we will be running exclusive masterclasses on the first day, followed by 2 days of symposia in London. We warmly thank all our supporters, sponsors and contributors for their invaluable assistance in making this Congress possible.

We hope the coming days will be stimulating, educational, and thought-provoking, and we wish you an enjoyable and memorable time here in London for the 24th Frontiers Congress.
