Press Info — ACG Annual Scientific Meeting

All research presented at ACG 2026 is strictly embargoed until 12:00 pm CT/1:00 pm ET on Sunday, October 11, 2026.

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 CT/1:00 pm ET on Sunday, October 11, 2026. Accepted abstracts may be available online prior to ACG 2026 for attendees’ planning purposes. The embargo policy applies to all abstract data regardless of when it is made available/published in ACG resources. 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 press access to the ACG 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting. Press credentials include a business card, letter of assignment, or links to existing 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.

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 sponsored by exhibitors or groups other than ACG are outside press conferences. 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 2026 by emailing ACG Media Staff.
