Hi, everyone. My name is Mohamed Keshab from Johns Hopkins Hospital. I, along with the course co-director, Dr. Prateek Sharma, we welcome you for this second edition of ASGE Live. We're very thankful that you are joining us for this amazing day, where we will focus on the diagnosis of reflux, treatment of reflux, and then diagnosis of Barrett's, and then endoscopic therapy for Barrett's. We have put together a great program, amazing speakers and teachers from 10 centers around the globe, from the U.S., Europe, and Asia. I will not talk much. Prateek, why don't you say a couple of words before we move to Mimi Cantor? Yeah, thanks very much, Mohan. And again, on behalf of ASGE, it is our pleasure to welcome all the attendees. I mean, you couldn't see a Starrcast lineup better anywhere else in which we walk you through the diagnosis and treatment of both GERD and Barrett's esophagus all within a span of four hours or so. And of course, with live demonstrations and with expert faculty talking us through each and every step as to how you do it. So with that, I'd like to introduce John Clark. John's going to be moderating the first session along with us. Just a couple of housekeeping notes for all the moderators and the speakers. If you're not speaking, please have yourself on mute. For the participants, use the Q&A box at the bottom right-hand side of your screen to keep sending us those questions. After every demonstration of that session, we'll go to an audience poll. So also be awake. Don't fall asleep on the screen. And please answer those questions because we'll be testing your knowledge as well. And use that Q&A chat function. So John, over to you to unmute yourself and then introduce the first session and get started.
