Dear Colleagues & Friends,

On behalf of the Asian EUS Korea, it is our great pleasure to welcome all of you to EUS Summit 2021 which will be held in Grand Walkerhill Seoul, Korea from October 23 to 24, 2021.

The world is still going through an unprecedented period, with the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic thrusting everyone into an era of the New Normal. Due to the on-going pandemic, this year the meeting will be held as hybrid format, on-site meeting for Koreans and virtual meeting for foreigners.

Now EUS field is rapidly expanding to therapeutic EUS. These days, many EUS-guided interventional procedures are performed actively including EUS-guided pancreatobiliary drainage, EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy, and EUS-guided ablation therapy. In addition, Contrast-enhanced EUS (CE-EUS) is increasingly used to differentiate many lesions in the hepato-pancreato-biliary system. The organizing committee prepared sessions covering all these recent progresses.

The program of EUS Summit 2021 is composed of didactic lectures, abstract presentations and live demonstrations. Live demonstrations from world renowned centers will be the highlight of this program. We are confident that this will be a festival for the leaders of EUS globally and a good learning place for the trainee of EUS.

We look forward to seeing you in October.
Thank you very much.
