The ASGE EndoEdison Award sponsored by Steris

Gain Visibility with Gastroenterologists

ASGE invites you to participate in the inaugural EndoEdison program as part of the unique FIESTA program to get your unique idea in gastroenterology in front of gastroenterologists, industry representatives and investors.

EndoEdison is an exciting new format for promoting and supporting endoscopic innovations in a fun, competitive atmosphere. Inventors and early start-ups who have IP protection and the ability to share their ideas are invited to submit ideas. You could walk away with valuable feedback and connections, as well as the ASGE’s inaugural EndoEdison Award!

A panel of judges will select promising innovations for presentation at FIESTA on November 14-15.

Presenters will be expected to give a 10-minute didactic presentation in the auditorium. The didactic session will be followed by a hands-on session in the bioskills lab where the innovations will be demonstrated to judges and attendees.

FIESTA will give inventors a chance to network with other inventors, industry representatives, investors and ASGE staff.

The winner of the EndoEdison competition and other participants will receive feedback from experts who have been successful in bringing inventions to market.
