The 4th Joint Meeting of Japanese Dermatological Association and Australasian College of Dermatologists will be held in Sapporo, Japan, from the 10th to the 12th of July 2009. We expect to have many participants from Japan, Australia, New Zealand and throughout the world. The main theme of this meeting covers a broad range of current clinical and research topics in dermatology. We are putting together a program that we expect will be attractive for dermatologists, researchers and all other participants. It is a program that we hope will promote exciting exchanges and greater understanding in dermatology. In addition, we are planning to have social gatherings that will be valuable occasions to foster international friendships. Summer, especially July, is the best season in Hokkaido, which is in northern Japan. We hope you also enjoy Sapporo city during the meeting. I look forward to seeing you here soon.
