Presidents Message

Dear IPEG Members and Colleagues,

We wanted to offer updates on what is happening at IPEG and wish you all season’s greetings!

This has been a year working to get back to in-person events and meetings. It has also been a year of planning as we prepare for a joint IPEG/ESPES meeting and work on administrative flow within the IPEG organization. 

Here are some of our highlights/updates: 

  • Committees: Congratulations to all those who were nominated for committee assignments. You will receive additional instructions and committee meeting dates in the new year. 
  • Annual meeting: will take place in Sorrento, Italy, July 5-8, 2023, in conjunction with the European Pediatric Endosurgery Society (ESPES) #IPEGESPES2023 and the Veterinary Endoscopy Society (VES). The collaboration and audience will lead to an exciting and timely lineup of speakers and topics. Our meeting website page has a link to the hotel, which is open. Conference and pre-congress course registration will open soon. Consider signing up for one of our many pre-conference courses, including the Mastery Learning Essentials ™, Mastery Learning Advanced Course ™, Urology, and Robotics courses. These courses are undergoing substantial revisions, will be taught by experts and will contain exciting updates. 
  • Abstract notification: we are pleased with the outstanding abstract submissions and are busy working on sending out acceptances in the coming weeks. 
  • Membership dues: please end the year by paying your membership dues! (Tell your colleagues about our society and share the enthusiasm by having them join). 
  • Donate: consider donating to IPEG research funds/education funds to help other young investigators in pediatric minimally invasive surgery. 
  • Social: connect with us across all social media platforms and tag us @IPEGsurgery #IPEGsurgery in your exciting accomplishments! Join us on the StayCurrent app, where we will have meeting/program information, new content from IPEG Academy, and much more. 

We hope to see you all in Sorrento!

Season’s Greetings,

IPEG Stands with Ukraine

The Executive Committee of the International Pediatric Endosurgery Group condemns the military actions by the Russian Government in the Ukraine. This attack on a sovereign nation is not consistent with the values and principles of IPEG and the international medical community. As an international organization dedicated to enhancing child health through education and access to minimally invasive surgery for all children of the world, we stand in solidarity with our Ukrainian friends, colleagues, children, and people.
