Your One Stop for Academic Updates

We are delighted to invite you to the 58th Annual Scientific Meeting of the College, taking place in the vibrant city of Melbourne from 16–18 May 2026. This landmark event continues our proud tradition of bringing together the dermatology community to share knowledge, foster expertise and celebrate collegiality.

In 2026, College is proud to reignite our long-standing collaboration with the Japanese Dermatological Association, welcoming their faculty leaders to ACD ASM 58. Among our distinguished speakers from Japan are Professor Manabu Fujimoto (Osaka University), President of the Japanese Dermatological Association and Professor Shinichi Imafuku (Fukuoka University), an internationally recognised expert in infectious skin diseases. Their participation underscores the global perspective and depth of expertise that make ACD ASM 58 an unmissable event.

Planning is already well underway, with the Meeting & Events Oversight Group, led by A/Prof Rosemary Nixon AM and A/Prof Aaron Boyce, working closely with the Victoria Faculty Convenors Dr Emma Veysey, A/Prof Michelle Rodrigues and A/Prof Peter Foley to craft an outstanding program. Expect a rich blend of cutting-edge research, clinical insights, hands-on workshops and opportunities to connect with colleagues old and new.

Whether you’re joining us from nearby or travelling from afar, we look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne for an engaging and memorable meeting.

Stay tuned for further details, including the call for papers, keynote speakers, and registration information. We look forward to welcoming you to an exciting and inspiring conference in Chongqing, China, in May 2026!

The Society of Women in Urology (SWIU) 2026 Annual Meeting at the AUA is a professional academic event held in conjunction with the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting. It brings together urology professionals with a special focus on women in urology, offering sessions on clinical updates, mentoring, research discussions, professional development, and networking opportunities within the broader AUA scientific program.

Inflammation is a fundamental component of the immune response, playing a vital role in defending the body against pathogens and in promoting tissue repair. However, unresolved or chronic inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases, including autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and the aging process. The Keystone Symposia conference on Inflammation Resolution: Emerging Concepts, Mechanisms and Disease Insights will explore recent advances in inflammation resolution, offering deeper insights into underlying mechanisms and opening new avenues for therapeutic intervention in inflammatory diseases. The program of this conference is highly cross-disciplinary, covering a broad spectrum of mechanisms contributing to inflammation resolution, including signals from dying cells and damaged tissues, the function of sentinel myeloid cells, the role of T cells in immunosuppression and tissue repair, the neural control of inflammation and its resolution, and the impact of aging on these processes.

This meeting was planned in parallel with another Keystone Symposia conference on Tumor Microenvironment: Identifying Drivers of Progression and Resistance. The pairing of these two meetings underscores the intricate link between the tumor microenvironment and the failure to resolve inflammation in cancer, which promotes tumor growth and progression through maladaptation of the very mechanisms meant to restore tissue homeostasis. Insights gained from studying resolution mechanisms are expected to inform strategies to mitigate the detrimental effects of unresolved inflammation on tissue function and overall health. This knowledge offers novel therapeutic targets and interventions to improve clinical outcomes in cancer and other inflammatory conditions. The combined focus on inflammation resolution and tumor microenvironment is poised to drive innovative strategies in combating chronic inflammation and its associated diseases, making these symposia pivotal for researchers and clinicians alike. Through shared keynote and joint scientific sessions, meals and poster sessions, participants will have an opportunity to network and share cross-disciplinary insights, encouraging innovative collaborations towards a deeper understanding of both inflammation and cancer, and the pathways that interconnect them.
