RIDS Annual Fall Conference 2026

It takes place at the Downtown Providence Marriott Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island.

The stated audience is dermatologists and other professional healthcare providers.

It is most useful for dermatologists in Rhode Island and nearby states, since it is organised by the Rhode Island Dermatology Society and draws faculty from centres such as The Ohio State University Medical Center and Geisinger. Mohs surgeons and residency program leaders will find the most relevant content, given that speakers include Katie Shahwan, a Mohs surgery fellowship associate program director, and Mikael K. Horissian, a dermatology residency associate program director. Clinicians wanting a large, multi-specialty meeting with a big exhibit hall will get less from a single-hotel society meeting in Providence.

Physicians at dermatology society meetings usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt or blouse, with a blazer or sweater for cool meeting rooms. Providence in late October is cool, so a coat is typical for the walk to the Downtown Providence Marriott Hotel.
