Science and Empathy in Atopic Dermatitis
17-20 October 2026, Beijing International Hotel, Beijing, China
+ New in 2026 for early-career pros: All you need to know about AD
Dear ISADERs,
I am proud and excited to welcome our guests to the 2026 16th Georg RAJKA Interntional Symposium on Atopic Dermatitis (ISAD), in Beijing, China.
Its motto “Science and Empathy in Atopic Dermatitis”, reflects our dual commitment to advancing rigorous science and honoring the experience of those living with AD.
This symposium will foster dialogue between Eastern and Western medical paradigms, and showcase the latest evidence on TCM’s role in AD management. We will be proud to make Beijing not only the host city of ISAD, but also a global stage for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
NEW IN 2026:
Prepare to be Challenged and Rewarded!
WELCOME TO BEIJING’s ARENA!
A dedicated pre meeting “All You Need to Know about AD” will provide a balanced, essential agenda for all early-career professionals that encounter AD with quizzes, clinical case battles and more.
Keynote lectures will address bench and bedside innovations that matter – the pathophysiology of pruritus and immune mechanisms, pediatric and adolescent atopic dermatitis, and therapeutic development.
Beijing is a city where ancient scholarship meets cutting-edge innovation. Within minutes of the conference venue, you will find world-class museums and historic landmarks – alongside vibrant neighborhoods, art districts, and an international melting pot of cuisines. It is a city that rewards curiosity: thoughtful conversations at the meeting by day, and fine dining with immersive cultural experiences by night.
We warmly invite you to bring your questions, your data, and your ideas—and to discover Beijing’s hospitality with the ISAD family. Together we will advance science, elevate empathy, and build collaborations that last well beyond.
