H.E. Amb. Prof. Abdulsalam AlMadani
Chairman of Dubai Derma
Roving Ambassador of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean for the GCC Region
Dubai has always understood that influence is not built by visibility alone. It is built by creating platforms that people trust, return to, and grow with. For twenty-five years, Dubai Derma has been one of those platforms.
What began as a regional initiative has developed into an international meeting point for dermatology, bringing science, industry, expertise, and innovation together in a city that has consistently demonstrated its ability to turn ambition into institutions of lasting value. And as we celebrate the silver jubilee of Dubai Derma, this milestone represents more than longevity. It reflects the ability of Dubai to create success stories that travel beyond its borders and become part of the international landscape they serve.
Dubai Derma has grown because it has remained relevant. It has evolved with the science, responded to changes in practice, welcomed new technologies, and created a space where knowledge is not only presented, but challenged, exchanged, and translated into progress.
In 2026, that journey continues at a new scale.
Across six exhibition halls, more than 400 exhibitors representing over 1,800 international brands will present the technologies, devices, and solutions influencing the future of dermatological practice. At the same time, more than 340 international and regional experts will contribute over 350 lectures across more than 70 specialised scientific sessions, alongside training programmes, live demonstrations, fellowship activities, and clinical discussions.
Yet the real strength of Dubai Derma is not found in these numbers alone. It is found in the relationships built in it, in the knowledge that moves from one country to another, in partnerships that begin in Dubai and continue across markets, and in ideas that leave the conference halls and eventually reach patients around the world.
This is where Dubai’s role becomes especially meaningful.
The city does not simply bring the world together. It creates the environment in which the world can move forward together.
I am proud to welcome you to Dubai Derma 2026 and to a new chapter in a journey that continues to prove that when knowledge, trust, and opportunity meet in the right place, their impact can travel far beyond it.
