Dear Colleagues
and Friends:
On behalf of the Society for Pediatric Dermatology (SPD), it is my
great honor to invite you to the 13th World Congress of Pediatric
Dermatology – also known as WCPD 2017. This unique event takes place
only once every four years, and we are pleased to be hosting it in Chicago,
Illinois, USA July 6-9, 2017.
Co-sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), WCPD 2017 is
truly a global event which offers a multitude of opportunities for teaching,
learning, networking and collaboration. Physicians with a passion for
pediatric dermatology will gather to hear both practical and cutting-edge
lectures, present and share the results of their research, and develop or
strengthen professional relationships. Experts from many contributing
specialties will be present, and the conference welcomes attendance from
all physicians who wish to further their clinical expertise, broaden their
global networking, and expand their research partnership opportunities.
Please remember there are many ways to directly participate as a part of
the WCPD 2017 program. Submit an abstract for oral or poster
presentation or your most unique case for our Cases of the Year session.
Submissions will be accepted online August 1, 2016 through January 1, 2017.
Chicago is the 3rd largest city in the USA, and is well known for its music,
theater, architecture, shopping, dining and world-class cultural attractions.
Our picturesque skyline studs the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan, and
our host hotel, Chicago Hyatt Regency, is a AAA Four Diamond property
situated along the Chicago River.
We look forward to seeing you at WCPD 2017!
