Networking

The Dermatology Summit utilizes a conference app for meeting materials and networking, available on both Apple and Android devices for all registered attendees.

The app will serve as our networking portal. Upon logging into the app, you will be able to update your profile, view the list of registered attendees and communicate with other attendees via chat. A 1:1 networking room will be available at the conference for your use should you wish to set up meetings on your own with other attendees.

The app will launch in December, and you will receive an email with instructions at that time.
