Press Info — ACG Annual Scientific Meeting

All research presented at ACG 2025 is strictly embargoed until 12:00 pm local Arizona Time, which aligns with Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)/3:00 pm ET on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

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 local Arizona time/3:00 pm ET on Sunday, October 26, 2025. 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.

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 2024 in Philadelphia can be viewed on ACG’s Featured Science page. Newsworthy Abstracts from ACG 2025 in Arizona will be available this fall.

Exhibitors releasing information to the media based on research presented at ACG 2024 or events at ACG 2025 should honor the ACG 2025 embargo.
