Guadalajara, Mexico

Guadalajara is a city of diversity, a perfect blend of modernity and ancient traditions. It is one of the most dynamic cultural capitals, rich in history and alive with excitement and friendliness. This metropolis boasts a leading dermatology university, and an influential and passionate medical community that can amplify the voice of Latin American dermatology research to the world.

Expo Guadalajara, the WCD2027 venue, is the largest congress centre in Mexico and one the largest and most important in Latin America. Thanks to the infrastructure, such as urban location, hotels, restaurants, and shopping centres around, it is the perfect place for a successful Congress.

ILDS Scientific Programme Committee (SPC)

The WCD 2027 Scientific Program Committee, headed by Lars French (Chair) and Manabu Fujimoto (Vice-Chair), is dedicated to curating an engaging program that not only embraces the diversity of skin diseases but also introduces participants to cutting-edge insights from international experts at the forefront of innovation in dermatology.

WCD2027 promises to provide top quality globally relevant continuing medical education in dermatology showcasing state-of-the-art knowledge and new developments relevant to the global spectrum of skin diseases featured in Plenary Lectures, Symposia, Hot Topic Sessions, Expert Forums, Controversy Sessions, Courses, and Free Communications.

The WCD2027 theme is “Discover the Dermatology Ecosystem. For a Diverse and Inclusive Future”.

The Dermatology Ecosystem is a multifaced and fascinating system of shared knowledge, with a common goal of improving skin health for the world. It brings together all the individuals, institutions, and organisations involved in skin health: dermatologists, researchers, primary care doctors, nurses, pharmacists, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, medical device manufacturers, government agencies, patients, and other medical specialties.

This collaborative approach of WCD2027 is unique in enhancing and shaping the future of dermatology globally.
