Dubai Derma 2026 Gets Underway at Dubai World Trade Centre

The 25th Dubai World Dermatology and Laser Conference and Exhibition, known as Dubai Derma 2026, is taking place at Dubai World Trade Centre from 8 to 10 September.

The event brings together dermatologists, aesthetic-medicine professionals, plastic surgeons, researchers, exhibitors and industry decision-makers from across the region and beyond. Its programme combines a specialist exhibition with education, professional discussion and business networking.

A milestone 25th edition

Dubai Derma's 2026 edition marks 25 years for the event. The organiser describes it as a platform for continuous learning, the exchange of best practice and discussion of developments in dermatology, skincare, aesthetics and laser medicine.

Its official programme lists a mix of conference sessions, practical workshops, live clinical activities, industry-partner sessions and courses. The exhibition gives medical professionals and businesses the opportunity to see products, technologies and services in one place.

The scale of the event

Dubai Derma's official website lists more than 25,000 visitors, 1,875 international brands, 523 speakers and participation from 114 countries for the 2026 edition.

Those figures underline the event's position as a major meeting point for dermatology and aesthetic medicine across the Middle East, North Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. The exhibition is aimed at a professional audience, including clinicians, practitioners, researchers, suppliers and companies working in the sector.

What is on the programme

The event's activities include the Dubai Derma Exhibition and the Dubai Derma Conference, both scheduled for 8 to 10 September. It also includes case-presentation and digital-poster activities over the same dates.

AADA Fellowship Course activities are scheduled from 7 to 10 September. The broader programme includes live clinical sessions, practical workshops and industry-partner sessions, creating different formats for attendees to learn, watch demonstrations and discuss new developments with peers.

More than an exhibition

For visitors, Dubai Derma is designed to bring scientific content and commercial activity together. The conference programme focuses on education and knowledge exchange, while the exhibition allows businesses to showcase dermatology, skincare, laser and aesthetic-medicine technologies.

The event also creates a setting for professional networking between doctors, manufacturers, distributors, researchers and other specialists. That combination of learning, product discovery and collaboration is central to why specialist medical events are important to the wider healthcare and business community.

Dubai's September events calendar

Dubai Derma is part of a wider September programme across Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai Exhibition Centre. The Government of Dubai Media Office has listed it among 14 major events taking place across the two venues during the month, alongside exhibitions and conferences in industries including energy, investment, technology, travel and finance.

Hosting an event of this scale at Dubai World Trade Centre adds to Dubai's role as a regional hub for medical knowledge, specialist trade events and international business meetings.
