It’s been six years since we last convened, and we are thrilled to finally be back together. The time apart has only strengthened our resolve and deepened our commitment to the scarring alopecia community. This conference is not just a meeting; it’s a celebration of resilience, connection, and progress. As we come together once again, we have the unique opportunity to reconnect, share our stories, and unite in our common goal of driving research and improving treatments for patients with scarring alopecia.

 

Welcome to Nashville, a city where music, culture, and Southern hospitality come together in perfect harmony. As you explore this vibrant city, you'll find that its rich history and lively atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for our long-awaited reunion. Nashville’s energy is contagious, and we hope you soak in every moment of it while we gather here to share, learn, and grow together.

 

The horizon is bright with promise. The advancements in research and treatment are paving the way for new possibilities, and this conference is the ideal platform to learn about these developments and from each other. Together, we will engage with experts, exchange knowledge, and empower one another. As we look to the future, let’s embrace the hope that lies ahead and continue working toward a world where scarring alopecia is better understood, managed, and eventually overcome.
