Skin of Color Update 2026 took place October 9–11, 2026.
Skin of Color Update 2026 was held at New York Hilton Midtown in New York, NY.
The published audience description identified dermatology clinicians and trainees.
It was most useful for dermatologists, residents and fellows who wanted practical training on diagnosing and treating patients with skin of color, since the program was scheduled to cover acne, rosacea, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa and laser, device and peel procedures, and it was billed as co-chaired by Andrew F. Alexis and Eliot F. Battle. Clinicians outside dermatology or aesthetics would have found little to use, and industry staff faced a much higher fee of $1,599 against $289 to $439 for MD/DO registrants, so the value leaned toward practising clinicians and trainees.
Dermatology conferences in a city like New York usually see business casual, with many clinicians in blazers or smart separates and comfortable shoes for moving between sessions.
