CONGRESS

PARIS
17-20 SEPT 2025

Industry session types

The industry sessions are a valuable way to learn about new research, techniques or treatments in the field of dermatology and venereology. In addition, some sessions will focus on sharing information about new products, services and/or technologies available.

At the EADV Congress, two different types of industry sessions are organized:

Satellite Symposia

Satellite symposia are organized in the main session rooms and take place during the morning, lunch and in the evening, after the last scientific sessions. These sessions last between 45, 60 and 90 minutes and offer a wider education on the presented topic to remain updated on any progression in the field.

Industry Expert Hubs

Industry expert hubs are organized in Pavillion 7.2.1 (level 2) of the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. These sessions last 45 minutes and are focused on bringing together a smaller group of experts to discuss more in-depth or to focus on a specific topic.

The session programme will be published here as soon as available.

Healthcare Professional definition

  1. Important note to Healthcare and Non-Healthcare Professionals

    Access to the different areas and sessions of the Congress depends on the Healthcare Professional status.

    As a multidisciplinary audience will attend the EADV Congress, the EADV will assign different classes to Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Non-Healthcare Professionals (non-HCPs) to ensure compliance with the French Les Entreprises du Medicament (Leem) Rules of Professional Conduct (Dispositions Deontologiques Professionnelles (DDP)).

    Specifically, HCPs are classified into the following groups: medical doctors, nursing and midwifery professionals, dentists, pharmacists, professionals involved in rehabilitation, and technical paramedical professionals.

    Please read the description below to ensure that you (or your delegates) comply with the regulations in place.

EADV members are not automatically considered Healthcare Professionals

Please select the correct status (HCP or non-HCP) during registration.

This definition does not apply to Healthcare Professionals employed by Companies, wholesalers or distributors, excluding those whose primary occupation is that of a practising Healthcare Professional.”
