Lyon, in France, is honored to host the 7th World Congress of the International Dermoscopy Society, taking place from 12 to 15 May 2027. Nine years after the highly successful Thessaloniki meeting - gathering more than 3,000 participants - we aim to bring the Congress back to Europe, home to the world’s largest and most active dermoscopy community.

This edition seeks to unite dermatologists, dermato oncologists, skin cancer-trained general practitioners, dermoscopy technicians, and specialized nurses who work daily to improve early diagnosis, effective treatment, and prevention of skin cancer. It will also welcome the growing group of professionals using dermoscopy for inflammatory skin diseases, hair and scalp disorders, and cosmetic dermatology.

Participants can expect contributions from world-class experts and pioneers who have shaped dermoscopy and non-invasive skin imaging since their inception. Lyon, an attractive and culturally rich city with extensive experience hosting major international congresses, offers outstanding facilities, exceptional gastronomy, and a unique setting between Burgundy and Côte du Rhône vineyards.

Supported by the Lyon University Hospital dermatology team and renowned co presidents, the organizing and scientific committees are committed to delivering cutting edge scientific content. We sincerely hope you will join us in Lyon in 2027 and take this opportunity to strengthen your communication with the global dermoscopy and skin imaging community.
