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.
This year’s conference pushes the boundaries with case-based learning that dives deep into the gray zones of dermatology—those rare, inflammatory, and intersectional cases that challenge even the most seasoned clinicians. Expect new frontiers in care including:
- 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
Integrative Medicine and Mindfulness
Aesthetics, Skincare, and Neutraceuticals in Diverse Populations
You’ll also engage with robust programming on mission driven care, side hustles in dermatology, HS Master Class, Cocoa and Connections, Rapid Fire Skincare, and participate in the DID Game Show, “SPIN for SKIN”.
More than education—it’s a movement.
From empowering the next generation of leaders to inclusive skincare showcases, career mentoring, emerging voices, and Fireside Chats with trailblazers, DID offers a dynamic platform to connect, grow, and be inspired.
Get your professional headshot. Build your network. Celebrate diversity. Elevate your practice.
REGISTER EARLY TO SAVE YOUR SEAT!
DID is limiting the amount of attendees and industry sponsors to create an intimate and engaging environment to allow for an exceptional learning experience with several networking opportunities.
