Cornerstones Health

Best of DDW in IBD 2026 Webinars

Translating DDW Into Clinical Practice

Digestive Disease Week (DDW) is the largest source of new gastroenterology research, but the sheer volume of data makes it difficult to identify what truly matters to your inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) practice.

For 17 years, Cornerstones has done that work for you. We bring together leading IBD expert faculty from around the world to review roughly 750 abstracts, presentations, and late-breaking studies, then select the ones most likely to shape patient care.

The result is the Best of DDW in IBD Webinars: a focused review of what matters most. Our faculty educators walk you through key advances in IBD management and show you how to put evidence to work in your everyday practice.

Join your IBD clinician colleagues for your annual update on the most practical takeaways from DDW 2026.
