Marc Benninga | paediatric gastroenterologist Academic Medical Center Amsterdam

‘The number of participants has increased considerably’
  Marc Benninga is, as a paediatric gastroenterologist, at the Academic Medical Center Amsterdam, closely involved with the 48th Annual Meeting of the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) Conference that took place 6 - 9 May 2015 in the RAI in Amsterdam. About four thousand paediatricians, paediatric gastroenterologists, nurses, dieticians and psychologists will attend the conference. "The conference is organised every year somewhere in or outside of Europe. Last year, it was in Jerusalem, this year in Amsterdam. The conference usually has no specific theme. The topics are all matters that are related to the gastrointestinal tract, the liver and nutrition. And, of course, the central focus is the child from 0 to 18 years of age. The last time that the Netherlands had the honour of organising this conference was back in1990. At the time, it was attended by about 350 people and took place in the Krasnapolski hotel. How different it now is! The number of participants has increased considerably in 25 years. People came to Amsterdam from over a hundred countries. As the Dutch section of ESPGHAN - and with the support of Amsterdam Marketing - we did everything we can to entertain the participants not only scientifically but also culturally."
