IASGO 2011 in Tokyo was held from November 9 to 12, 2011.
We welcomed to Japan more than 900 participants from 59 countries from around the world.

The theme for the Congress was “What’s New in Tokyo 2011”, and there were various sessions featuring the latest topics on categories in surgery, gastroenterology and oncology.  Attendees had very fruitful discussions through the course of the Congress, and in particular, asked senior specialists at the session “Meet the Professors” on the most updated information.

They enjoyed various events such as Hanagasa Dance, the Sword Master KAMUI, GAMARJOBAT, and Kyogen.  Foreign participants, especially, had fun dancing and playing samurai on the stage.  We also received many heartwarming messages that they were very impressed by our Japanese hospitality.
