The 49th annual Pancreas Club meeting was held May 15th and 16th, 2015, at the Washington Court hotel in Washington, DC. Three hundred and three attendees included pancreatologists from 20 countries. Sixty-one oral presentations and 165 posters were presented over the 2-day meeting. Table 1 documents oral abstract titles with institutional affiliation. Full abstracts for all oral presentations and posters are available at the pancreas club website, http://pancreasclub.com. Representative papers from each of the eight sessions are summarized below.
