The 10th GCC Dermatology & Venereology Conference, a unique event held every two years, is dedicated to practitioners, specialists, manufacturers and distributors in the field of dermatology, anti-aging and skin lasers. GCC Derma is the premier educational opportunity for dermatologists and plastic surgeons in the Gulf and the Middle East, showcasing the latest in the science and technology in the field through specialised exhibitions, lectures, courses and workshops.
You are cordially invited to attend the 10th GCC Dermatology and Venereology Conference to be held from December 17th to 19th in Doha, Qatar.
The Conference will provide opportunities to discuss skin health issues and to be apprised of cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Our goal is to offer a balance of the basic and the clinical as well as of the preventative and therapeutic. Distinguished speakers will share their insights and research data, and pharmaceutical and medical technology firms will introduce their products and offer workshops.
The venue is the landmark Sheraton Hotel and Resort, affording its guests a view of Doha's stunning skyline and the pleasure of lounging beside shimmering azure waters of the Gulf. Participants may visit a traditional souq (market), chic shopping centres and the I.M. Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art, housing the world's premier collection of Islamic Art; play tennis on the same courts as Roger Federer and Rafael Nidal, golf on the host course of the Qatar Master's or enjoy and a desert safari. (In December, daytime temperatures are generally in the lower to mid-20's Celsius.) Practitioners from throughout the world are invited to meet their colleagues, share their experiences and benefit from the expertise of others practicing dermatovenereology as well as from our field's leading pharmaceutical and medical technology companies. We look forward to your participating in what we envision will be the largest, most informative such gathering ever in the Gulf.
