25 –27 JANUARY 2024, Montreux 27TH ANNUAL MEETING EUROPEAN DERMATOLOGY FORUM

WELCOMING ADDRESS BY THE EDF PRESIDENT
 

Dear EDF Members
Dear Corporate supporting Members
Dear Guests

On behalf of the EDF Board, I am delighted to welcome you to the 27th EDF Annual Meeting. We are looking forward to spending 3 days in a convival atmosphere supporting education, scientifi c exchange and collaboration.

The EDF Annual Meeting takes place each January in Switzerland and is designed to address several of the signifi cant issues impacting dermato-venereology and ranging from clinical, scientifi c to political matters. In January 2024, we will again meet in Montreux, a traditional spa town nestled among steep hills on the shores of Lake Geneva. The town is known for its mild microclimate and the Montreux Jazz Festival in July. Magnifi cent Belle Époque buildings line the waterfront surrounded by sculptures and Mediterranean trees. The medieval Chillon Castle is located on an island offshore. The moated castle includes ramparts, reception halls and a chapel with 14th-century murals.

The EDF Annual Meeting will be held at the Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, a 4-star hotel in the style of the Belle Époque situated at the heart of Montreux, directly on the banks of Lake Geneva. At the main meeting we will discuss and debate a wide range of current dermatology and venereology topics. The EDF Board has put together an exceptional program based on scientifi c and medical excellence with plenary talks, two interactive sessions as well as updates from our commission groups and sister societies, whilst at the same time being mindful of diversity, gender and geographical balance.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in person at the 27th EDF Annual Meeting in
Montreux.

In the meantime, our PCO, conventionTEAM AG, remains at your disposal in case you
have any further questions.

With best regards,

Antonio Costanzo
EDF President
