Message: Executive Committee - IADVL National

Greetings from executive committee of IADVL, National

It is our pleasure to pen down our thoughts for DERMACON 2026, Bengaluru

DERMACONs stand as a milestone to our commitment to upgrade and upskill our vibrant community of Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL). We are going to witness yet another DERMACON in 2026 hosted by the gifted team of Bengaluru. Their strengths include diligence, meticulous preparation and close attention to every little detail, both in terms of logistics and requirements of the society. We are confident that under their able leadership, the conference will be a resounding success, offering delegates an enriching experience both academically and socially.

We would like to take this opportunity to reassure you that the national EC will fully support and encourage them during this process. By working together, we can continue to improve dermatological care and education in our nation and make DERMACON 2026 a model conference for the nation and the rest of the world.
