Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the 5^th ASEAN Gastroenterology International Conference (ASEAN Gastro 2025) , organized by the ASEAN Stomach and Microbiota Study Group. This prestigious event will take place in the vibrant city of Bangkok, Thailand, from October 31^st to November 2^nd, 2025.

Over the years, ASEAN Gastro has established itself as a leading platform for gastroenterology professionals to share cutting-edge knowledge, innovative research, and transformative insights. Following the resounding success of our 2024 conference, which explored the theme “AI Innovations and Advancements in Human Microbiota in Medicine,” we are thrilled to continue this tradition of excellence. Last year’s event brought together renowned experts from 14 countries across the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and North America, alongside emerging researchers who showcased their groundbreaking work through abstract presentations.

This year, we are proud to present the theme for ASEAN Gastro 2025: “Advancing Gastroenterology and Microbiota: Precision Medicine for a Global Future”. This theme reflects the evolving landscape of gastroenterology and the pivotal role of precision medicine in shaping the future of patient care and treatment. We invite you to join us in Bangkok for an enriching experience filled with thought-provoking discussions, networking opportunities, and the latest advancements in the field. Detailed information about the conference, including the program agenda and registration, will be available shortly.

Mark your calendars and prepare to be part of this exceptional gathering of minds. We look forward to welcoming you to ASEAN Gastro 2025 in Bangkok!
