Press Info — ACG Annual Scientific Meeting

All research presented at ACG 2024 is strictly embargoed until 12:00 pm EDT on Sunday, October 27, 2024.

The embargo policy means that no news, information, results of any abstract, or research finding can be released to the media or published before 12:00 pm EDT on Sunday, October 27, 2024.

This embargo includes revealing anything about the results (including the title of the abstract—since often times the title indicates the finding) in a press release or “curtain raiser.”

If you have a question, please email ACG Media Staff.

Journalists who have presented press credentials will receive access to ACG 2024. Press credentials include a business card, letter of assignment on media outlet letterhead, or links to previously published articles. Patient advocates who write for an online patient community are also eligible to receive press access. Please email ACG Media Staff with any questions regarding registration.

To register for press credentials, submit the form here or email ACG Media Staff mediaonly[at]gi[dot]org.

The location of the ACG Press Room at the Pennsylvania Convention Center will be announced closer to the date of the meeting.

The Newsworthy Abstracts are abstracts, selected by the ACG Public Relations Committee, which feature scientific findings that are innovative, newsworthy for the lay reader, relevant to those who suffer from common GI problems, and which represent a significant advancement in the diagnosis and treatment of GI diseases. Newsworthy Abstracts from ACG 2023 Vancouver can be viewed on ACG’s Featured Science page. Newsworthy Abstracts from ACG 2024 Philadelphia will be available this fall.

Exhibitors, Attendees, Guests, and Media are strictly prohibited from taking video or audio recording of the Exhibit Hall or any educational session or event of the meeting for publication, rebroadcast, or placement on a non-ACG website or print publication without prior written permission from the ACG. Still photography is permitted only for personal, non-commercial purposes, including social media. Attendees can direct questions about the policy to ACG VP of Meetings and Exhibitions, Elaine McCubbin. Members of the media should send general questions to ACG Media Staff.

Press conferences at ACG 2024 sponsored by exhibitors or groups other than ACG are outside press conferences. The College requests that no group schedule a press conference at the same time as any ACG-sponsored Media Briefings. Groups holding outside press conferences are responsible for securing their own space, but are welcome to coordinate with ACG VP of Meetings and Exhibitions, Elaine McCubbin, to try to identify an appropriate venue. As a courtesy, please notify ACG of plans to hold a press conference at ACG 2024 by emailing ACG Media Staff.
