The WCD is held every 4 years by the ILDS. Each WCD is hosted by an ILDS Member organisation. This makes the Congress a unique event that reflects the culture of its host city and showcases the local dermatology community.
The event aims to reflect the current practice and future of dermatology. It provides a great opportunity to build relationships with colleagues from around the world.
The WCD location is chosen through a competitive bidding process and a vote by ILDS Members at the ILDS Assembly of Delegates General Meeting.
Only ILDS Member organisations can bid to host the WCD. See a list of our Members.
