Dissemination
The next step will be to disseminate the research and technical advances presented at Ascona II at national and regional meetings Worldwide. The success of this process, as with the Chicago Classification after the first Ascona meeting, depends on faculty and delegates cascading information to local practitioners using this equipment in clinical practice. If you wish to host a regional meeting and require contacts for potential faculty then please let us know. A full set of the presentations (pdfs) can be downloaded here. Full powerpoint copies can be individually downloaded from the program section.
At the same time, further meetings of the individual working groups will work towards standard operating procedures and new classification systems. Access is not unlimited to these focus group meetings. If you wish to participate then please contact the appropriate working group lead: pharyngeal swallow (Nathalie Rommel, Leuven), esophageal motility (Peter Kahrilas, Chicago), gastro-esophageal reflux disease (Sabine Roman, Lyon), anorectal physiology (Emma Carrington, London). Again, I can provide contacts if required.
