We are pleased to invite you to attend the second International Conference on Tropical Medicine(ICTD), which will be held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo from 11th to 13th of March 2026. This esteemed event is co-organized by the Sri Lanka College of Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine (SLCDA) in collaboration with the Deutsche Dermatologische Gesellschaft / German Dermatological Society (DDG).

Nearly 40% of the world's population resides in tropical countries, and the prevalence of skin diseases in these regions is rising at an alarming rate. Tropical skin diseases are unique, and challenging to treat. Furthermore, these diseases are no longer limited to tropical regions. Due to increased travel and migration, dermatologists outside the tropics are encountering patients with tropical skin diseases with increasing frequency. Therefore, a sound knowledge of tropical dermatology is an asset to any dermatologist.

The second International Conference on Tropical Dermatology (ICTD) promises to be an enriching experience, featuring distinguished clinicians and researchers who will share their insights through lectures on various topics. The conference will provide an in-depth discussion of tropical infections such as leprosy, leishmaniasis, and dermatophytosis. Moreover, tropical dermatology extends beyond infections. The program will also cover interesting topics such as pigmentory disorders, environmental dermatology, and cultural dermatology. Additionally, a special pre-congress session will focus on Aesthetics in Skin of Colour, addressing critical issues related to aesthetic treatments for patients with skin of colour.

Sri Lanka is a beautiful island that offers delegates ample opportunity to create lasting memories of a tropical paradise. From tranquil hills and sandy beaches to thrilling wildlife safaris and awe-inspiring monuments, Sri Lanka has something for everyone within just a few kilometres. Following the academic sessions, we have arranged two optional tour packages for delegates, allowing you to experience either the historical town of Kandy or the breath-taking village of Ella, located within the island's hill country.

Additionally, we are thrilled to invite you to the highlight of our tropical dermatology program on the 14th of March, at the National Hospital of Colombo, Sri Lanka. This clinical meeting will feature a variety of patients with tropical skin diseases, providing a unique opportunity to examine and discuss cases in small teams alongside esteemed Sri Lankan dermatologists.

The second International Conference on Tropical Dermatology (ICTD) represents a fantastic opportunity for the global dermatology community to enhance their knowledge, build connections, and initiate collaborative research while experiencing the warm hospitality of Sri Lanka.

Join us in Colombo for the 2nd ICTD in March 2026! We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting event.
