2026 ASDS Annual Meeting
5 Nov 2026 – 8 Nov 2026 · San Diego, CA, USA · In-Person
The ASDS Annual Meeting is the flagship educational event of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, the leading organization for dermatologic surgeons. The 2026 meeting takes place in San Diego over four days, bringing together dermatologic surgeons, dermatologists, residents and fellows for the latest advances in surgical and cosmetic dermatology.
What to Expect
The meeting covers the full scope of dermatologic surgery practice:
- Skin cancer surgery including Mohs micrographic surgery and reconstruction
- Cosmetic dermatologic surgery — injectables, energy-based devices, body contouring and laser techniques
- Practice management and advocacy sessions for dermatologic surgery practices
- Resident and fellow programming, building on ASDS's year-round educational portfolio of workshops, webinars and mentorship programs
ASDS is known for its hands-on educational approach, and the annual meeting complements the society's on-demand courses, webinars and in-person trainings such as the Resident Workshop on energy-based devices and advanced injection techniques.
