The Turkish Society of Dermatology holds its 34th National Dermatology Congress from 21 to 25 October 2026 at the Royal Seginus Hotel and Congress Center in Antalya. The 2026 edition is hosted by the Departments of Dermatology at Balıkesir University Faculty of Medicine and Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Faculty of Medicine.
The National Congress is described by the society as one of its most significant scientific meetings — the annual point at which current dermatological knowledge and experience are shared, scientific output is consolidated, and professional bonds across the Turkish dermatology community are renewed. Alongside the scientific programme, a social programme creates space for colleagues who have not met for some time to reconnect, which the organisers explicitly value as part of the congress's purpose.
Across five days the scientific programme addresses the society's designated main topics, covering inflammatory dermatoses including psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, autoimmune bullous disease, connective tissue disease with cutaneous involvement, skin cancer and dermato-oncology, dermatopathology, paediatric dermatology, hair and nail disorders, pigmentary disease, venereology and sexually transmitted infection, dermatologic and laser surgery, and cosmetic dermatology. Biologic and small-molecule therapies feature prominently, reflecting how substantially they have changed management of severe inflammatory skin disease.
Abstract submission is open through the congress site, with accepted work presented as oral or poster communications. Registration and accommodation packages are booked together through the official portal, and the site publishes the invitation letter, the boards and committees, the main topics, general information and the detailed scientific programme.
The congress draws dermatologists, residents and dermatology nursing staff from across Türkiye, with invited international faculty contributing to selected sessions.
