The AAD is currently accepting applications for parallel sessions during next summer’s AAD Innovation Academy in New York, July 16-19.

Parallel sessions are two to three hours in length and focus on a single, broad topic. Proposals should be relevant, timely, and engaging and use real-life cases.

The purpose of the AAD Innovation Academy is to inspire and foster innovation in an inviting manner. Sessions should follow suit and create captivating discussions around the latest research, new drugs and devices, and the business of dermatology.

The submission deadline is Sept. 10, at 11:59 p.m. CDT.
