The International Congresses of Dermatology (icd) were held since 1889, the first one in Paris. Roughly every four years apart, with longer intermissions following World Wars I & II, dermatologists met in various European cities, moving 1907 for the first time out of Europe to the usa, 1977 to Central America, 1982 to Japan, 1997 to Australia, 2007 to South America, 2011 to South Korea, and 2015 to Canada. Table 1 lists venues, Presidents and General Secretaries up to 2019.
The International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS) in time became responsible for planning, organizing and conduction these extremely popular events, bringing together dermatologists from all continents and almost every country where skin specialists are active.
