The Old Gastroenterologic Calendar: 1996

Where was the Nordic Congress arranged last year? What were the topics during the Helicobacter Conference last September? The DDW in 1996 - was it in San Fransisco?? Whom should one contact to get an abstract book from the gastroenterologic meeting in Odense in june 1997? When did I meet a friend in New Orleans during a meeting? Well, questions like this get an answer here - in this calendar concerning events in the past - starting from January 1975. A word of excuse however - the links in this page might not be valid any more. If You have visited a conference worth remembering, why not send an email?
