The scientific program of EADV Symposium 2026 will cover a broad range of clinical dermatology and venereology. The organizers announce more than 25 sessions and over 100 international speakers, and the program is designed to be useful for both young doctors and residents, as well as experienced specialists.
The main topics include hair and nail disorders, pediatric dermatology, atopic dermatitis, acne, bullous diseases, skin cancer, dermoscopy, sexually transmitted infections, and aesthetic dermatology. Special attention will be given to new therapeutic approaches, diagnostics, and complex clinical decision-making.
Three educational tracks
The first Focus on track provides an in-depth analysis of selected areas — in 2026, these are hair disorders and pediatric dermatology. The second track, What’s New, will focus on the most important updates from the past year in the management of bullous diseases, atopic dermatitis, acne, skin cancer, and sexually transmitted infections.
The third direction is built around interactive clinical cases and diagnostic reasoning assessment. Participants will work with cases in dermoscopy, trichoscopy, aesthetic dermatology, and inflammatory dermatoses, while a separate format will allow residents to present complex clinical scenarios to international experts.
The program will open with two keynote lectures. One will be devoted to new mechanisms of aging and the possibilities for therapeutic intervention, and the other to the history of beauty practices and dermatology in Ancient Greece.
Scientific exchange and professional interaction
Alongside the thematic sessions, the program will include free communications for presenting selected scientific papers, ePosters, and industry symposia. The exhibition area will provide an opportunity to explore pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and technological solutions for dermatological practice.
A separate element will be the Networking Symposium, created for professional communication among participants, speakers, and representatives of the international dermatology community.
Who will benefit from the event
- dermatologists and dermatovenereologists;
- venereology specialists;
- aesthetic medicine practitioners;
- residents and early-career dermatology specialists;
- physicians working with chronic and inflammatory skin diseases;
- specialists in dermoscopy, trichology, and dermato-oncology;

Because several thematic tracks will run in parallel, participants are advised to plan their own schedule in advance and identify the sessions that best match their clinical practice and professional interests.
