"Dear friends and colleagues,

Thailand is honoured to be given the privilege to host the Asian Pacific Digestive Week 2023 (APDW 2023) in Bangkok from 6 to 9 December 2023 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre (QSNCC).

With the theme, Optimizing Strategies For Maximizing Outcomes, APDW 2023 will be an in-person meeting. This meeting will highlight the cutting edge research related to digestive health. The past several years have shown tremendous improvements in both clinical aspects and research approaches related to digestive health. With recent advancements in technology, the public expect to detect diseases at an early stage by combining technologies. This meeting will be the platform to highlight the combination of preventive medicine, prognostication and precision medicine in the galaxy of digestive disorders and sciences in the Asia- Pacific region.

We look forward to meeting you in Bangkok, Thailand, the city of Smile."
