I hope this note finds you all well.
Below is a link* to our latest IOIBD newsletter, featuring highlights from our wonderful AGM in Porto, an update on the launch of the IOIBD2030 strategic plan, a summary of our many active initiatives, and information on how to self-nominate for open positions on the Executive Committee for 2027.
The work we are doing, individually and together as an organization, goes far beyond setting the direction for our field. It is leading in ways that will meaningfully advance the care of people living with IBD. At a time when the world faces so many challenges, I am incredibly proud of the global cooperation and deep friendships that define this community.
My sincere thanks, as always, to the incomparable Marischka Konings for her extraordinary dedication to all these initiatives.
I look forward to seeing you all soon.
With warm regards,
David Rubin, Chair IOIBD
30 June 2026
