Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the entire board, I am delighted to invite you to our EADV Congress in Amsterdam from 25 to 28 September 2024. This hybrid event offers both onsite delegates and remote participants the chance to update their clinical knowledge and engage in the latest advances in dermatology and venereology.
The congress will be opened by an internationally renowned keynote speaker, who will spotlight the human impact on the climate and suggest actionable steps we can take in our personal lives to protect our planet. The scientific congress programme promises deep structured insights into all major fields of dermatology and updates on hot topics, including rapid changes in the understanding and treatment of common diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and skin cancer – from surgery to systemic therapy. Special focus sessions will provide a ‘deep dive’ into bullous diseases, hidradenitis suppurativa and cutaneous lymphomas.

Expect ten plenary lectures from global experts on topics of broad relevance. The 2024 EADV Congress is session rich with 160+ thematically perfectly structured symposia, more than 20 subspecialty sessions and the extremely popular “Late breaking news”. To foster direct exchanges, we will showcase more than 2000 e-posters, engage delegates in hands-on workshops and provide practical insights delivered by over 600 leaders in dermatology and venereology.

Most esteemed figures in the field of dermatology and venereology from Europe, USA, Asia and other continents will share their latest insights in clinics and clinical research. The 2024 EADV Congress will present a high-level of scientific content and a ‘Residents Track’ and new ‘EADV Games’ dedicated to young dermatologists.

The Congress will be hosted at the RAI Amsterdam congress centre. Nestled in the heart of the city, it is one of Europe’s most prominent and modern venues, committed to environmental sustainability and innovative technologies. With its leading-edge technology, the RAI offers most practical approaches for popular plenary sessions, symposia, e-posters and novel interactive formats.

Amsterdam is known for its unique artistic heritage, elaborate canal systems and houses with gabled facades – a legacy of the city’s 17th-century Golden Ages. Beyond the 2024 EADV Congress, Amsterdam offers an unforgettable atmosphere that each of us will cherish.

As president, I am committed to continuing the path of transformation initiated by my predecessors, towards the professionalisation of our academy. The recent success of our congress programming by the Scientific Programming Committee, evidenced by the record-breaking attendance in Berlin, underscores our achievements as an academy. I look forward to personally welcoming you to Amsterdam where we will jointly experience the vibrant spirit of dermatology and venereology.
