Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Pediatric Dermatology Foundation, it is our distinct pleasure to invite you to “Pediatric Dermatology Updates 2026,” to be held on October 31st and November 1st, 2026, at Ravindra Bhavan in Madgaon, Goa.

As we gather in the cultural capital of Goa, our scientific program is designed to be both rigorous and interactive. We have curated a series of comprehensive lectures, alongside dynamic case discussions that address the daily challenges in pediatric dermatology. Every session will be followed by thought-provoking panel discussions.

Beyond the academic sessions, we invite you to immerse yourself in the unique “Susegad” spirit of Goa. Madgaon, a city steeped in history, serves as the perfect gateway to explore the architectural marvels of the region. We encourage you to visit the majestic Basilica of Bom Jesus and the Se Cathedral in Old Goa, or find serenity at the ancient Shree Manguesh Temple and Shantadurga Temple in Ponda.

For those seeking the sun and surf, the pristine white sands of Colva and Benaulim beaches are just a short drive from the venue, offering a tranquil escape after a day of learning.

Goa is equally famous for its soul-stirring flavors. Our conference catering will celebrate this heritage, featuring authentic Goan cuisine. Prepare your palate for a culinary journey—from the tangy notes of a traditional fish curry to the layered sweetness of Bebinca. Whether it is the aromatic spices of a Xacuti or the coastal freshness of local seafood, the food will be as much a highlight as the science.

We look forward to welcoming you to Madgaon for two days of academics and a celebration of Goan hospitality.

Warm regards,

Team,
Pediatric Dermatology Foundation
