It is my great pleasure to welcome all distinguished colleagues, speakers, and participants to the Asian Scientific Meeting of Pediatric Dermatology 2027.

On behalf of the Asian Society of Pediatric Dermatology, I am honoured to extend my warmest greetings to everyone joining us for this important scientific gathering. The ASPD is committed to advancing the field of pediatric dermatology throughout Asia by promoting clinical excellence, collaboration, education, research, and outreach to improve the care for children and adolescents with skin diseases in Asia.

As a regional professional society, ASPD serves as a platform to connect pediatric dermatologists, pediatricians, dermatologists, and other healthcare professionals from diverse countries and backgrounds, fostering the exchange of knowledge, clinical expertise, and research outcomes. Through meetings such as this, ASPD continues to strengthen professional networks, encourage academic growth, and support the development of future leaders in pediatric dermatology.

The ASMPD reflects our shared mission to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care of children with skin conditions. I am confident that the program will provide an excellent opportunity to learn from one another, discuss emerging challenges, and explore new advances that will shape the future of our specialty.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the organizing committee, speakers, sponsors, and all those who have contributed to making this meeting possible, especially our pediatric dermatology colleagues from Indonesia for their commitment, expertise and passion in organising this wonderful meeting. Your dedication and support are truly invaluable to the success of this event and to the continued growth of ASPD.

I wish all participants a productive, insightful, and memorable meeting. May the Asian Scientific Meeting of Pediatric Dermatology 2027 be a resounding success and further strengthen the mission of ASPD across the region.

The Indonesian Society of Dermatology and Venereology (PERDOSKI) is honored to support the Asian Scientific Meeting of Pediatric Dermatology (ASMPD) 2027, an important regional forum that brings together experts, clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to advance pediatric dermatology across Asia.

Pediatric skin diseases present unique challenges that require multidisciplinary care, continuous scientific advancement, and close regional collaboration. Amid the diversity of healthcare systems, resources, and disease patterns across Asia, ASMPD 2027, under the theme “Bridging Science and Innovations in Pediatric Dermatology Around Asia: Regional Challenges and Solutions,” serves as a platform to exchange knowledge, share regional experiences, and translate innovation into better clinical practice.

As the host society, PERDOSKI is committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen scientific collaboration, promote excellence in education, and advance equitable, evidence-based pediatric dermatology care. We are delighted to welcome colleagues from across Asia and beyond to Yogyakarta, a city celebrated for its rich cultural heritage, timeless traditions, and warm hospitality. As one of Indonesia's foremost academic centers, Yogyakarta offers an inspiring setting where scientific excellence meets cultural richness, creating a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas. We look forward to welcoming you to an unforgettable meeting that combines academic excellence with the distinctive charm of Indonesia.

It is with great pride and honor that, on behalf of the Indonesian Pediatric Dermatology Study Group (Kelompok Studi Dermatologi Anak Indonesia – KSDAI), I welcome you to the 13th Asian Scientific Meeting of Pediatric Dermatology (ASMPD) 2027, held in the historic city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Hosting the 13th ASMPD 2027 represents a significant milestone for our pediatric dermatology community, both in Indonesia and across the region. It reflects our shared commitment to advancing clinical care, education, and research, while strengthening collaboration among colleagues throughout Asia and beyond. The landscape of pediatric skin diseases continues to evolve — shaped by environmental change, emerging pathogens, and a growing understanding of dermatological conditions unique to children and adolescents — making the exchange of scientific knowledge across borders increasingly vital to the health and well-being of the younger generation.

Over the years, KSDAI has worked steadily to build capacity in pediatric dermatology across Indonesia, from strengthening clinical education and training to expanding access to specialized care in underserved communities. Hosting the 13th ASMPD 2027 is a natural extension of this journey — an opportunity to open our doors to colleagues from across Asia and beyond, and to learn, share, and grow together.

Through plenary lectures, scientific sessions, case discussions, and dedicated networking opportunities, the 13th ASMPD 2027 brings together renowned experts, clinicians, researchers, and allied healthcare professionals to discuss emerging challenges and chart the future of pediatric and adolescent dermatology. We hope this meeting sparks new ideas, forges lasting partnerships, and renews our collective dedication to the children and adolescents we serve.

We warmly invite you to be part of this gathering. Whether through presenting your research, contributing your expertise, or simply engaging in discussion, your presence will enrich the 13th ASMPD 2027 and help advance pediatric dermatology across the region.

On behalf of KSDAI, I extend my warmest welcome. We look forward to greeting you in Yogyakarta — the cultural heart of Indonesia — for an inspiring and memorable 13th ASMPD 2027.
