От председателите на симпозиума
Dear colleagues,
Following the great success of "Bulendo 2024", which brought together the endoscopy community in Bulgaria and was highly appreciated by both participants and pharmaceutical and medical companies, we are pleased to invite you to the next edition – "Bulendo 2026", which will take place on 26–27 June 2026 at the National Palace of Culture, Sofia, Bulgaria.
The symposium will continue its tradition of being a centre for training, professional discussions and practical demonstrations, but this time it will build on an even richer programme and the participation of leading global endoscopists, who will perform live demonstrations, broadcast directly from the operating theatres of the Gastroenterology Clinic at the Military Medical Academy in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Our goal remains the same – to improve and unite the endoscopy community, as well as to build bridges to international practices and standards.
On behalf of the Organising Committee, we invite you to join us and be part of this event, which will provide new ideas, knowledge and professional contacts!
Yours sincerely,
Ivelin Takorov
President of BASGO
Alexander Katzarov
Chief Secretary of BASGO and Course Director
