Australian dermatologists will take centre stage alongside world leaders in skin science at Europe’s biggest dermatology meeting.
There are just two weeks to go until one of the biggest international dermatology conferences of the year gets underway.
The European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology (EADV) Congress will be held at the Paris Convention Centre from 17-20 September.
EADV president Professor Branka Marinovic said it would be a “celebration of our shared purpose, a platform for progress and a powerful testament to the strength of our global community”.
“This year’s congress promises to be our most dynamic yet. With over 180 scientific sessions, 600-plus expert speakers, 25-plus dedicated subspecialty tracks and 10 powerful plenary lectures, our program reflects the incredible depth and breadth of our field,” she said.
“We are especially excited to host abstract-based free communications, late-breaking research highlights, and a residents-targeted session, ensuring opportunities for every level of expertise and interest.
“And of course, we look forward to the second edition of the EADV Games, where science meets a fun rivalry.”
The robust scientific agenda was complemented by a vast exhibition area showcasing cutting-edge technologies, treatments and products that were shaping the future of patient care, said Professor Marinovic.
She said this congress marked a significant step forward in the EADV’s commitment to sustainability.
“The EADV is proud to integrate eco-conscious initiatives throughout the congress, from recyclable materials and digital signage to sustainable catering and climate-focused scientific sessions,” she said.
“In partnership with industry leaders and through thoughtful logistical planning – including a transportation pass for all full-congress delegates – we aim to reduce our environmental footprint and set new standards for responsible event management.”
