JDP 2026 – Journées Dermatologiques de Paris, Paris

Key facts

JDP 2026, the Journées Dermatologiques de Paris, is the annual congress of the Société Française de Dermatologie and the key meeting of French-speaking dermatology. The organizers promise an update on the latest scientific advances in a friendly setting, with more than 200 scientific sessions, around 850 speakers and close to 500 posters. Italy is the guest country of the 2026 edition.

Continuing medical education is at the core of the programme, with more than 150 CME sessions, forums, workshops and surgical workshops. Sessions labelled Les Essentiels cover core knowledge of a topic for residents and non-specialists, while Pour aller plus loin sessions target attendees who already practise in that area. Research is presented in 153 oral communications and more than 470 posters, and the best work is grouped into two Best Of sessions with jury prizes. A Best Of QSD session revisits five major talks selected by the QSD programme committee.

Long-standing features return: the JDP Quiz, in which 18 teams of French and international residents compete, and the Poster Challenge on 21 diagnostic image posters, displayed from Wednesday 2 December, with answers and two jury prizes on Friday 4 December. A forum for general practitioners, co-organised with the Collège National des Généralistes Enseignants, and a dedicated nurse forum widen the audience. An exhibition with more than 65 exhibitors and over 25 symposia completes the programme.
