IADVL is one of the largest dermatologic associations in the world. “We have invited pioneers in the field of dermatology to share their experiences and offer new perspectives. Nearly 45 speakers from across the world will speak on recent advances in the field. Focus sessions on vesiculo-bullous diseases, psoriasis, vitiligo, urticaria and dermatosurgery will also be held,” said head of the PGI dermatology department, Prof A J Kanwar.

The theme of the conference is pediatric dermatology. “During the past three decades, Pediatric Dermatology has emerged as a specialty. Earlier, interest in skin diseases among children was limited. There was also a paucity of medical literature,” said a doctor.
