Why Attend DID 2026

Get ready to experience Diversity in Dermatology like never before and celebrate 250 years of America’s history.

In 2026, DID takes you to the heart of Washington, D.C. for a bold, immersive journey into the future of dermatology—where clinical mastery, cultural intelligence, and cutting-edge innovation converge.

The Humanitarian Medicine and Exotic Cases
Dermatology Futures: Diversity, Career, and Innovation
State of the Arts Therapeutics
Pediatric Dermatology & Inclusive Care for LBGTQ+ Youth
Immunodermatology, Connective Tissue Disorders, & Complex Cases

"What a high-quality atmosphere. The speakers demonstrated their skill but conveyed it in a way that was welcoming and inviting."

"I am appreciative of the dedicated members and mentorship this program provided me. Listening to the experience of others and being part of a group that works within the same specialty is so beneficial. I hope to pay it forward some day. Thank you!"

LEADING THROUGH INNOVATION

At DID 2026, Leading Through Innovation explores how dermatology leaders are reimagining impact—within the clinic and far beyond it. As the field continues to evolve, innovation is no longer limited to technology or treatments; it lives in how we lead, how we collaborate, and how we extend our expertise into consulting, industry, research, entrepreneurship, and service.

The conversation continues immediately following the session at The Exchange at DID, an evening reception designed to bring attendees, faculty, and industry partners together in a relaxed, collaborative setting.

Together, the session and reception reflect the heart of DID 2026: leadership rooted in innovation, strengthened by community, and driven by purpose.
