The submission deadline for e-Posters and Industry posters has been extended. Please submit your posters electronically via the San Diego Dermatology Symposium website by 11:59 PM PT on Sunday, February 8, 2026.  After this date/time, the submissions site will close automatically and can no longer accept submissions. There will be no exceptions to this policy.

There is no limit on the number of posters a company/person may submit.

Payment is required upon submission of the form. 

Posters fees are non-refundable.

Pricing is available if interested in additional features such as uploading to the SDDS website audio slides, audio files/commentaries, and author videos.

Content: Inclusion of graphs, tables and other visuals is strongly recommended to enhance engagement. Include all authors and affiliations. All authors must disclose financial relationships. One original author of a poster is required to register for the symposium. If you have multiple posters, each poster must have a unique author registered for the symposium.

​Commercialism: Any display at the San Diego Dermatology Symposium in which cost is underwritten by a pharmaceutical company or other entity must avoid commercialism. Drugs, instrumentation, or devices must not use brand names. If such situations occur, the author/exhibitor is responsible for identifying and clearly stating on the poster that a portion or portions of the cost were provided by the commercial company named.

Brand Names: Generic or scientific names of drugs/devices should be used in place of brand names. If brand name is necessary to understand poster content, it should be used only once (after the first mention of the drug or device’s name). Pharmaceutical or other support of any study should be acknowledged at the end of the poster.
Copyright: Copyright is shared. The Dermatology Research and Education Foundation owns copyright for its own use. Author(s) retain the rights for all other uses.
