Back for Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2017 are DDW Tracks – fifteen tracks that provide attendees with the ability to search all sessions by topic or theme across all societies. Each track has a corresponding color that will be used in meeting materials and throughout the convention center. Leading up to the meeting, we will be highlighting programming from each track. DDW Tracks can also be found in our attendee resources to help you better plan for the meeting. New this year, exhibitors will also be mapped to tracks based on their product categories and attendees will be able to filter exhibitors by track in the mobile app similar to sessions.
