Florida Live Endoscopy 2026 is organized by Orlando Health Digestive Health Institute and will be held from Aug 20 - 22, 2026, at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, Orlando, Florida, United States of America. Description: A Generational Odyssey of Endoscopy Since the turn of the 20th century, humanity has categorized generations based on birth year, beginning with “The Greatest Generation” (1901–1927) and progressing to the latest cohort, “Generation Beta” (born in 2025 and beyond). Each generation is defined by distinct characteristics, shaped by the unique challenges and opportunities of its time. While no formal labels exist for generations of endoscopists, an unmistakable generational evolution exists within our field. Skilled and innovative endoscopists rise to leadership, passing on their wisdom and expertise to the next generation of practitioners, who, in turn, make their own impactful contributions to the advancement of endoscopy. Florida Live Endoscopy 2026 will be a landmark event, offering an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate the outstanding contributions of my generation (Robert Hawes, MD) while simultaneously highlighting the talent, skill, and vision of those who will shape the future of our field.
