23rd World Congress of Dermatology

The 23rd World Congress of Dermatology in 2015 will take place in Vancouver, Canada from June 8-13, 2015. The World Congress of Dermatology is the world’s oldest and continuous international dermatology meeting. The first Congress in 1889 pre-dated the modern Olympics by seven years. The last Congress to be held in North America was in New York in 1992.

The National Organizing Committee, together with the ILDS Scientific Program Committee led by Professor Jean Bolognia, have been working diligently since the closing ceremony of the 22nd WCD in Seoul in 2011 to develop an unparalleled program for the 2015 World Congress. The Scientific Program Committee has committed to bringing global representation to a wide variety of subjects that are core to medical, surgical, and esthetic dermatology. There will be a vast range of special sessions to meet everyone’s interests. Young “Rising Star” dermatologists will be showcased in every session.
