The countdown is on for EADV 2026, the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology' Congress,, staged in Vienna, Austria from 30 September 2026 to 3 October 2026 and set to gather the sector under one roof. The event pulls together voices from across the discipline — on stage, in the audience and in the conversations between. As an annual event, it gives the community a regular moment to come together. Some 20000 attendees are projected to attend across the run of the event. European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology produces the event, drawing on years of practice to keep each edition sharp. Austria Center takes on hosting duties, its layout well suited to crowds and content alike.

When the host city is Vienna, half the appeal is already in place — a well-connected, welcoming base with plenty to offer once the day is done. Travel logistics are kind to visitors: Vienna is easy to reach by air and easy to get around once you arrive. Places to stay are plentiful, and picking one near the venue keeps your mornings short and your options open. There is life after the last session here: Vienna's food scene, culture and landmarks make for a fuller trip.

This edition puts the spotlight on Dermatology, Venereology, Sexual Health, Skin Health and Health Care, exploring the latest trends, innovations and best practices across these areas. Expect a packed line-up of panels, fireside chats and interactive sessions. From organised meetups to spontaneous conversations, the room is built for making connections.

Whether you come to learn, to present or to connect, the return on your time is hard to beat. EADV 2026 remains a key fixture for professionals, innovators and industry leaders, and an edition worth marking on the calendar.

Whether you attend for a single day or the full run, planning your visit in advance helps you make the most of your time on site.
