IBD Masterclass 2026 ran for two days, 11–12 September, at Crowne Plaza Riyadh RDC, under Scientific Chair Dr. Turki Al Ameel and Organizing Chair Prof. Nahla Azzam. A new highlight video released this week takes viewers back through the meeting, from the exhibit hall to the closing session.

The video opens on the sponsor exhibit hall, with delegates moving between industry booths, before cutting to faculty interviews recorded against the conference step-and-repeat backdrop and a data-driven talk on IBD epidemiology.

Among the sessions featured is a case presentation and panel discussion led by Dr. Lisa Sharkey on integrating nutritional therapy into IBD care — evidence, experience, and practice — alongside a panel slide noting where ECCO and AGA guidance agree, framed against a banner of the meeting's sponsors: Takeda, AbbVie, and Janssen at the platinum tier, and Dr. Falk, Ferring, Amgen, Hikma, and Organon at the bronze tier.

The recap closes on the meeting's final session and a group photograph of faculty and delegates, followed by the announcement that has delegates already marking their calendars: IBD Masterclass 2027 will return on 17–18 September 2027.

SGA thanks the faculty, delegates, and sponsoring partners who made IBD Masterclass 2026 possible, and invites the community to watch the full recap below — also featured on the IBD Masterclass website and in the conference companion app.
