Dear Colleagues,
After the “14th OESO World Congress for Diseases of the Esophagus” in Geneva, Switzerland in September 2017, the 15th OESO World Congress for Diseases of the Esophagus will be held in Beijing, China.
As the executive president of the congress, on behalf of the “World Organization for Specialized Study on Diseases of the Esophagus(OESO)”, it is my great honor, and pleasure to invite you to participate the “15th OESO World Congress for Disease of the Esophagus” in Beijing, China on November 7-10 2019.
The OESO is a multi-disciplinary international organization focused on esophageal diseases. Its biennial congress aims to gather together all specialties from all over the world working in the clinical management and basic research of the patients with esophageal diseases. It also provides the training courses for the trainee and programs of visiting scholar working in the field of esophageal diseases.
The 15th OESO World Congress in Beijing, China will focus on the “Global Perspective and Novel Technology for Diseases of the Esophagus”, and will provide an excellent platform for sharing not only the updated clinical management but also the scientific knowledge on diseases of the Esophagus.
Beijing is a ancient but also a beautiful modern capital city with thousand years of history and rich cultural as well as architectural heritage. Very convenient air and ground transportation will take you to any scenic spots where you wish to visit in Beijing and other places in China. You can enjoy Chinese cuisines and the beauty of operas as well as academic exchanges in this congress.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Beijing, in November 2019

Executive President of 15th OESO World Congress
(Beijing, 2019)
Dear Friends & Colleagues,
On behalf of my distinguished colleague Professor Jie He and Congress Secretaries Professors You-Sheng Mao, Wen-Qiang Wei and Dan Azagury, I am delighted to welcome you to the upcoming 2019 OESO biennial meeting in historic Beijing. This will be the 15th OESO World Conference, but the first OESO World Conference to be held in Asia and only the second to be held outside of Europe.
OESO is a unique organization focused on multidisciplinary study of the esophagus in a format that allows true multidisciplinary conversation and collaboration in a manner unmatched by traditional society meetings. The ability to have discussion with gastroenterologists, surgeons, otolaryngologists, pathologists, allergists, oncologists, radiologists, basic scientists and other specialties with regards to specific esophageal issues is what makes OESO such a rewarding venue and brings us back time after time.
The core program will focus on short directed questions to key faculty to spark discussion and debate, while the corollary program will allow discussion of novel technology, a review of key updates in various disciplines related to the esophagus, and discussion of key controversies in our field. The meeting will be designed to maximize contact between attendees in a stimulating, fun environment in the hopes of furthering discussion to shape the future of our field.
We are also privileged to be sharing this world congress with the National Cancer Center of China, the Cancer Foundation of China, the Committee of Esophageal Cancer, CACA, the Committee of Endoscopy, CACA, the Committee of Cancer Epidemiology, CACA, the Committee of Cancer Etiology, CACA, and the Chinese Society for diseases of the esophagus – making this World Congress the largest to date.
In addition to the compelling academics, we hope to engage you in what we promise to be a wonderful social program. While details of this are still being finalized, we are hoping that all the attendees will have time to socialize while taking in the wonderful cooking, culture and sights of historic and beautiful Beijing.
We hope to see you in November 2019!
