The programme is expected to feature more than 300 scientific lectures, while around 80 brands will be represented through the accompanying exhibition.

Dubai World Trade Centre has also highlighted MEIDAM as one of the major medical conferences on its September events calendar, describing it as a gathering focused on the latest technologies and treatments shaping dermatology and aesthetic medicine.

WAM reported that physicians, researchers and innovators from more than 108 countries are expected to take part in this year's event.

Three Days of Medical Education

The scientific programme will cover a wide range of areas within dermatology and aesthetic medicine.

Key subjects include clinical dermatology, aesthetic procedures, dermatologic surgery, laser applications and emerging medical technologies.

The event will combine scientific presentations with practical education, giving healthcare professionals opportunities to review new research, treatment approaches and technologies being introduced across the sector.

MEIDAM describes the congress as a physician-led platform combining clinical science, hands-on education and engagement with specialists and industry decision-makers.

Focus on Laser and Aesthetic Medicine

Laser technology will be among the specialised areas receiving significant attention during the congress.

A Basic and Advanced Laser Course will run alongside MEIDAM 2026 in collaboration with the European Society for Lasers and Energy-Based Devices.

The course will examine fundamental and advanced applications of laser and energy-based technologies in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.

Specialised sessions will also cover emerging areas such as regenerative treatments and women's aesthetic and intimate health, alongside broader clinical dermatology topics.

Continuing Medical Education

Professional education remains one of the central elements of MEIDAM.

The congress provides opportunities for physicians and other healthcare professionals to obtain continuing medical education and professional development credits through eligible sessions and courses.

According to MEIDAM, its programmes are designed around evidence-based medical education and collaboration between international and regional specialists.

The event is supported by several international professional organisations, with MEIDAM listing bodies including the International League of Dermatological Societies among organisations connected with the congress.

Platform for Research and Young Doctors

MEIDAM 2026 will also provide a platform for residents and medical researchers to present scientific work.

The congress's Resident Research Presentation programme allows selected participants to showcase research, clinical cases and updated medical reviews before a scientific committee.

The top presentations are expected to be evaluated by a jury during the congress, providing younger doctors and researchers with an opportunity to gain exposure within the international dermatology community.

Industry Exhibition to Showcase New Technologies

Alongside the scientific congress, the exhibition will bring together companies operating across dermatology, aesthetic medicine, medical devices and associated healthcare sectors.

Participating brands are expected to showcase technologies, equipment, products and treatment solutions while connecting with clinicians and decision-makers attending the event.

With around 80 brands represented, the exhibition is designed to complement the medical programme by allowing healthcare professionals to explore technologies entering the dermatology and aesthetics market.

MEIDAM Marks 11th Edition

MEIDAM has been operating since 2015 and has developed into an international meeting point for professionals working in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.
The 2026 gathering marks the congress's 11th edition.
