AEDV, the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, has officially announced Madrid’s candidacy to host the World Congress of Dermatology 2031 (WCD2031).

The National Bidding Committee will be led by Dra. Yolanda Gilaberte, elected President, and Dr. Sergio Vañó Galván, appointed Secretary General of WCD2031 Madrid – Candidate City.

Madrid’s proposal emphasizes excellence in dermatological research, education, and clinical practice, supported by the city’s state-of-the-art facilities, international accessibility, and vibrant cultural environment.
The candidacy reflects AEDV’s dedication to fostering collaboration, promoting scientific innovation, and strengthening the exchange of knowledge among dermatologists worldwide.

By hosting WCD2031, Madrid aspires to provide a platform that unites the global dermatology community in pursuit of scientific progress and improved patient care.

Our National Bidding Committee took part in the World Skin Summit 2025, where they warmly welcomed colleagues and delegates from around the world at their booth.
During the congress, Dra. Yolanda Gilaberte, President of the National Bidding Committee, officially presented Madrid’s candidacy to host the World Congress of Dermatology 2031, sharing the vision and values that inspire this proposal.

At our booth, participants were invited to learn more about the scientific, cultural, and human dimension of the candidacy: a proposal designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and inclusion within the global dermatology community.

It was a moment of great pride and emotion for AEDV, the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, to showcase how Madrid proposes to welcome dermatologists from around the world: a renewed city with a new skin.

As a city of many colors and cultures, Madrid connects people and ideas through diversity, sustainability, creativity, connectivity, and scientific innovation.
This is the essence of today’s Madrid, a city transformed by its commitment to well-being, research, and global collaboration.

Madrid connects. Madrid is the connection with WCD2031.

We’ll participate in TeraCILAD 2025, taking place in Mexico City from November 22 to 24. This event represents a valuable opportunity to reconnect with colleagues from across the Ibero-Latin American dermatology community and to strengthen ties within our global network.

You’re all warmly invited to stop by the WCD2031 Madrid booth (inserire numero) to exchange ideas, share experiences, and learn more about the vibrant Spanish dermatology community and its ongoing journey toward the World Congress of Dermatology 2031.

As part of the scientific program, AEDV,the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, will host a dedicated session on Friday, November 21, from 16:30 to 17:30 in the Mixteca 2 Room, titled: “Therapeutic Innovation in Dermatology Applied to Daily Clinical Practice.”

This symposium will feature leading Spanish experts discussing innovative therapeutic approaches and their integration into everyday clinical care.

We look forward to meeting colleagues in Mexico City and sharing its vision for a congress that celebrates scientific excellence, collaboration, and the global spirit of dermatology.
