The conference will assess the prevalence of celiac disease, its diagnosis, long-term manifestations, and management, and explore directions for future research. Experts in the field will present the latest in research findings to an independent panel, who will then prepare a consensus statement. The meeting is open to the public. A press conference, and public question and answer session will be held on the final day. ACTF members -- Dr. Alessio Fasano, Elaine Monarch, and Dr. Joe Murray -- were chosen to sit on the planning committee for this historical conference.
