Any message making these claims is not affiliated with AASLD and does not contain information from AASLD about its attendees.
Be on the lookout for any suspicious emails and don’t let these third parties’ solicitors deceive you. Protect yourself from these fraudulent sites by:
- Avoiding Google and other search engines
- Gathering information directly from the official The Liver Meeting® site
