A Legacy 25 Years in the Making
For 25 years, South Beach Symposium has set the standard for dermatology education, bringing together the most respected voices in medical and aesthetic dermatology for an experience that goes far beyond the traditional conference.
In 2027, we celebrate this milestone with a program designed to reflect where dermatology is today – and where it’s going next.
This is more than a meeting. It’s where expertise evolves, innovation is shared, and the future of patient care takes shape.
An Event That Defines the Standard
South Beach Symposium is recognized as a premier dermatology conference for one reason: it delivers education that translates directly into better patient care.
Learn from globally recognized leaders in clinical and cosmetic dermatology
Experience hands-on workshops, live patient demonstrations, and advanced technique training
Explore the latest innovations in injectables, biologics, and skin therapies
Gain practical insights you can immediately apply in your practice
This is where knowledge becomes action and where your next level of expertise begins.
Because staying current isn’t optional.
Dermatology is evolving rapidly and staying ahead requires more than passive learning. Strengthen your clinical confidence and decision-making and be part of the event that that defines what’s next.
Don't Miss the 25-Year Milestone
Join the dermatology community from February 4-6 at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel in sunny Miami, Florida for one of the most anticipated events of the year.
