WDS Signature EventsOur hallmark events bring together members from across the globe to celebrate progress, share knowledge, and shape the future of dermatology. AAD Luncheon & WDS Annual Business MeetingHeld annually in conjunction with the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Meeting, this signature luncheon and WDS Annual Business Meeting is a celebration of our members and a time to reflect on the Society’s impact.

WDS Forum & Industry Visioning Work Group (IVWG)This unique dual-event experience brings together WDS leaders, dermatologists, and industry partners for strategic conversations on advancing the field of dermatology. The IVWG fosters collaboration across medical, surgical, cosmetic, pediatric, and oncologic subspecialties, offering a unique space to explore how organizations and industry can partner for impact. The WDS Forum features dynamic CME programming on women’s health, leadership, work-life integration, and the latest dermatologic advances—alongside meaningful networking with WDS leadership, past presidents, residents, and colleagues from academic and private practice.

All proceeds go to the WDS Legacy Long Term Reserve Fund to benefit board-directed strategic initiatives and key WDS programs including mentorship, leadership training, and global outreach.
