Dear Delegates,

It gives us immense pleasure to welcome you all to CUTICON 2026, to be held in the vibrant and ever-energetic city of Pune.

This year’s theme, “Key Concepts to Emerging Trends,” is something we all relate to in our day to day practice. While the fundamentals of dermatology remain our strongest guide, the field is constantly evolving with newer therapies, technologies and procedural advances. Striking the right balance between these core concepts and emerging trends is what helps us deliver better, safer and more effective patient care.

Keeping this in mind, we have designed the scientific program of CUTICON 2026 which will be practical, relevant, and engaging. The focus is not just on learning what’s new, but also on strengthening what we already know. Through a mix of expert talks, panel discussions, and case-based sessions, we hope to create an environment where ideas can be shared freely and learning becomes meaningful for everyone—whether you are in early stages of your career or an experienced practitioner.
