Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to Workshop Week 2026, which will take place in Düsseldorf and Krefeld from April 23rd to 25th, 2026.

With its unique hands-on format, Workshop Week has become the largest practical gastroenterology congress in Germany. Our goal remains to unite a wide range of courses for everyday clinical practice in gastroenterology at one location and at the same time. In three intensive days, you can expect practice-oriented endoscopy courses for beginners and advanced users – from the EGD Course and ERCP Course to colonoscopy training and highly specialized workshops such as the ESD Course and POEM Course. The offer is aimed at new colleagues as well as technically skilled endoscopists.

A special highlight are the live demonstrations on patients by internationally renowned experts.
You will experience the latest endoscopy techniques, the latest device developments and innovative procedures – always with direct reference to the clinic. New this year is the expanded focus on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and oncology. In our Skillbox, you can specifically deepen your knowledge and further develop your clinical skills with a personal focus.

More than 50 course instructors will again ensure intensive support and collegial exchange at the highest level.
Our course concept offers ideal opportunities to make contacts and exchange ideas with experts and industry partners.
Workshop Week stands for modern, practice-oriented learning in gastroenterology. Whether gastroscopy course, ERCP training, ESD training or IBD seminars – here you learn from the best for your everyday clinical practice.

We look forward to seeing you and three inspiring days in Düsseldorf!

Sincerely,
Christian Gerges & Mate Knabe
