SDPA Conferences: Where Education, Networking, and Community Converge
At the Society of Dermatology Physician Associates (SDPA), our conferences aren’t just professional events—they’re a homecoming for DermPAs™. Held twice a year—in the summer and fall—our conferences bring together 600+ attendees and 40+ exhibitors for a powerful blend of education, networking, and inspiration.

Cutting-Edge Education
SDPA conferences deliver premier continuing medical education (CME) led by the nation’s top dermatology experts. Our sessions cover the latest clinical guidelines, breakthrough treatments, and practical tools you can bring straight back to your patients. Whether you're a seasoned DermPA™ or just beginning your journey, you'll gain actionable insights to elevate your practice.
Unmatched Networking Opportunities
More than just lectures, our events are designed to foster connection. From welcome receptions to VIP gatherings and exhibit hall meetups, you’ll have countless opportunities to build relationships—with fellow DermPAs™, medical directors, exhibitors, and thought leaders. You never know when a conversation will spark a new idea, a collaboration, or even a lifelong friendship.
A Conference That Feels Like Home
There’s something special about SDPA. It’s the energy in the room, the laughter in the hallways, and the familiar faces who greet you with open arms. Whether you're reconnecting with colleagues or meeting new peers, you'll find a genuine sense of community here—one that makes every moment memorable.
More Than a Conference—It’s a Movement
With two flagship events each year, SDPA conferences are a cornerstone of our mission to empower DermPAs™ nationwide. You’ll walk away not only with CME credits, but also with renewed purpose, meaningful relationships, and a deeper connection to your profession.
Join us at our next conference—and experience where DermPAs™ come to learn, lead, and belong. Welcome home.
