Why Attend DID 2027
Join a dynamic, inclusive, and inspiring community for an unforgettable educational experience in the heart of Chicago.
DID 2027 brings together clinicians, researchers, thought leaders, and industry partners for an immersive educational experience designed to inform, inspire, and connect. Through expert-led education, engaging discussions, and meaningful collaboration, attendees will explore the latest advances in dermatology while gaining practical insights that can be applied directly to patient care.
But DID is about more than the science. It is a community where different perspectives, experiences, and ideas come together to strengthen our specialty. Connect with colleagues from across the country, learn from voices that broaden the conversation, and engage in the bold discussions shaping the future of dermatologic care.
Come to Chicago to learn, connect, and be inspired—and leave with new knowledge, new relationships, and a renewed commitment to advancing skin health for every patient.
