BUILDING BRIDGE BETWEEN SCIENCE AND PRACTICE

SHARING KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is my great pleasure and honor to welcome you to this year’s International Transcaucasus Congress on Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine ITC2026!

Over the years, ITC has established itself as a high-quality, well-organized, and internationally recognized platform for scientific exchange and education. Following the success of our previous CME-accredited Congresses held under the auspices of the International Society of Dermatology (ISD), this year’s congress has also been submitted for European accreditation and is supported by ISD.

We are especially honored that this year Congress will be held with the valued support of the British Association of Dermatologists (The Dowling Club).

Our comprehensive multidisciplinary scientific program has been carefully designed to address contemporary challenges and emerging advances across the field and brings together dermatologists, aesthetic medicine specialists, allergists, pediatricians, family physicians, dermatosurgeons and oncologists.

We are proud that world-leading experts have confirmed their participation to share their knowledge, research, and clinical experience.

We warmly invite you to an inspiring congress filled with knowledge sharing, innovation, and new professional collaborations!

Sincerely,

Lally Mekokishvili
MD., PhD., Professor
