Each year, dermatologists and surgeons from around the world gather at the DASIL World Congress to exchange knowledge, share clinical experience, and strengthen international collaboration across dermatology and aesthetic medicine. The upcoming 14th DASIL World Congress, taking place in Kochi, Kerala, India, from 22–24 October 2026, continues this tradition of global education and professional connection.
Hosted at the Grand Hyatt Kochi, the congress is expected to welcome more than 1,500 national and international delegates, bringing together leading clinicians, innovators, and educators from across the dermatologic and aesthetic medicine community.

A global forum for dermatology and aesthetic medicine
Founded to promote international collaboration in dermatology and aesthetic surgery, the Dermatology, Aesthetics & Surgery International League (DASIL) is a respected non-profit medical society dedicated to advancing education, mentorship, and research within the field.
The organisation has built a strong global network of dermatologists and aesthetic physicians who share a commitment to clinical excellence and ongoing education. Through its international congresses and educational initiatives, DASIL provides a platform where experienced clinicians and emerging practitioners can learn from one another, discuss new techniques, and explore evolving treatment approaches.
The annual DASIL World Congress has become one of the society’s flagship educational events, attracting participants from across Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East.
The 14th DASIL World Congress
The 14th DASIL World Congress will be held under the distinguished leadership of Congress President Dr Rahul Pillai and Honorary Congress President Dr Ganesh Pai, supported by the organisation’s international scientific and organising committees.
Together, they aim to deliver a programme that reflects the latest developments in dermatology, aesthetic medicine, and dermatologic surgery, while fostering meaningful dialogue between practitioners from different regions and clinical backgrounds.
Kochi, located in the southern Indian state of Kerala, will serve as the host city for the meeting. Known for its cultural heritage and coastal setting, the destination provides an inspiring backdrop for an international gathering focused on education, collaboration, and innovation in dermatologic care.



An international community of clinicians
One of the defining aspects of DASIL is its emphasis on mentorship and global knowledge exchange. The congress offers delegates the opportunity to learn from internationally recognised faculty while also building relationships with peers who are shaping the future of dermatology and aesthetic medicine.
With an anticipated attendance of more than 1,500 delegates, the 2026 meeting is expected to bring together a diverse community of practitioners from across the world.
For clinicians working in dermatology, aesthetic medicine, and dermatologic surgery, the event provides a unique opportunity to engage with international experts, share perspectives, and remain connected to developments within the global dermatology community.
