Jaramillo thanked all 25 participants who had submitted their abstracts for consideration. At the main auditorium at the European School of Management and Technology in Berlin, the presenting authors, who travelled to the capital to attend the ROOTS SUMMIT from Spain, Poland, Kuwait, Egypt, Guatemala and other countries, gave 10-minute discussions of their individual patient cases and the audience used the 5-minute question-and-answer session to clarify any open issues.

Three judges placed in the audience will decide on the winner. The winners of the poster competition and case presentations will be announced and can collect their prizes—Terauchi Kits —on Sunday morning. All presenting authors, whether they have won or not, will receive a certificate.

“I really appreciate the atmosphere of the ROOTS SUMMIT and I am happy to be here,” said Dr Milan Mach at the beginning of his presentation.

“I have been a member of the ROOTS SUMMIT from the beginning. It is a privilege to present in front of the endo community today,” said Dr Mostafa el-Kholy, another presenting author.
