World Congress on Rare Skin Diseases 
July 1-3, 2026 - Versailles, France

The 3rd World Congress on Rare Skin Diseases 2026 will take place July 1–3, 2026 in Versailles, France, bringing together leading experts, patient organizations, researchers, and stakeholders from around the world to advance dialogue, collaboration, and innovation in the field of rare skin diseases. The Congress serves as a key platform to share knowledge, highlight emerging research, and strengthen global efforts to improve outcomes for people living with rare skin conditions.

As part of the event, GlobalSkin will co-host a Patient Symposium, where patient perspectives and lived experiences will be brought to the forefront of discussions on rare skin diseases. We will also host a Member booth in the exhibition hall to connect with our Members, partners, and the broader dermatology community. In addition, we will be hosting a RareDERM Community Member Meeting to exchange insights and strengthen collaboration within the community.
