The 7th International Enteric Nervous System Development Meeting will be held March 20-23, 2024 in Philadelphia - https://www.ens-development-meeting.com. The meeting brings together clinicians and researchers, including developmental and cell biologists, pathologists, geneticists, physiologists, pediatric gastroenterologists and surgeons, and stem cell researchers, all sharing a common interest in the enteric nervous system and neurointestinal diseases. This conference follows on previous meetings held in New York (2006), London (2009), Hong Kong (2012), Rotterdam (2015), Boston (2018), and Ferrara, Italy (2022). These previous Symposia were extremely successful, each hosting about 200 participants from approximately 20 countries from around the world. We are very excited about the 2024 meeting in Philadelphia and are confident that it will continue to build on the success of the prior meetings and attract top researchers from across the globe.
