7th Annual Elevate-Derm Fall Conference | November 4–8, 2026 | Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa | Cedar Creek (Austin), Texas

Day 2: Thursday, November 5, 2026

Psoriasis, HS, pediatrics, and a Texas-sized welcome

The day started early with registration, coffee, and breakfast. Registration stayed available all day, and the exhibit hall and non-CME networking lounge were open throughout. A non-CME breakfast symposium kicked things off before the first lecture.

The first session of the day was James Song, MD, presenting Not Your Average Psoriasis Patient: Treatment in Special Populations. Founder and Executive Director Matthew Brunner, PA-C, then gave the official opening remarks. He welcomed attendees to the conference, highlighted the CME/CE opportunities ahead (up to 27 hours across the five days), and shared his excitement about bringing so many dermatology PAs and NPs together in one place.

Steven Daveluy, MD, followed with Fighting the Flare: Managing Hidradenitis Suppurativa. A non-CME break symposium and a coffee break with exhibitors filled the mid-morning, and then Jennifer Tan, MD, closed out the morning lectures with 50 Shades of Red: Vascular Birthmarks and More for the APP.

Lunch was served, followed by a non-CME lunch symposium and a dessert symposium. The afternoon opened with a panel, Tough Cases, Real Decisions, with Drs. Daveluy and Tan. Victoria Garcia-Albea, NP, and Buchi Neita, PA-C, followed with Expert Updates on Pattern Hair Loss and Oral Minoxidil.

Dr. Daveluy returned with Integrative Tools in Dermatology. After a coffee break with exhibitors, Dr. Tan presented Don't Miss It! When to Worry in Pediatric Dermatology, and James Del Rosso, DO, closed out the CME day with So Many Drugs, So Little Time.

Then it was time to head outdoors for the Under the Texas Sky welcome event, where attendees mingled with friends from past conferences and met new colleagues from across the country. The night wrapped with the DermAscend: Elevated Career Pathways dinner symposium (non-CME), an evening of career conversation and connection.
