7th Annual Elevate-Derm Fall Conference | November 4–8, 2026 | Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa | Cedar Creek (Austin), Texas
Day 4: Saturday, November 7, 2026
Skin cancer, cosmetics, surgery, and SkinSync Live
Registration, coffee, and breakfast were available early, and registration stayed open all day. The exhibit hall was open through the morning, and the networking lounge stayed open into the early afternoon. A breakfast symposium came before the first lecture.
The first session of the day was Oliver Wisco, DO, presenting From Spot to Survival: Cutaneous Oncology Pearls for APPs, including cutaneous reactions to targeted anti-cancer therapies and how to recognize and manage them. A coffee break and a satellite CME program followed. After another coffee break with exhibitors, Dr. Wisco returned with Dermatology at a Distance: Innovative Approaches to Expanding Care Access.
After a lunch and dessert, symposium attendees gathered for the live prize drawing. The drawing added a little excitement to the afternoon!
The afternoon block opened with Dawn Merritt, DO, presenting CSU: What's New, What Works. Kristina Collins, MD, followed with neuromodulator pearls and controversies in cosmetic dermatology, and Buchi Neita, PA-C, and Veronica Richardson, NP, led the SkinSync Live panel Inside HS: The Immunology Primer.
Dr. Merritt returned with Actinic Keratoses: Spot It, Treat It, Beat It. After a coffee break, she followed with PDT Demystified: What Every PA and NP Should Know. Dr. Collins closed out the day with surgical pearls from a Mohs surgeon in When You Have a Hammer, Everything's a Nail.
The evening began with a networking event, where colleagues swapped stories and new connections took shape. Ascending Leaders Academy had its program dinner with another cohort of aspiring APPs. A satellite dinner covered JAK inhibitors in atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo, followed by a satellite dessert symposium, a relaxed close to a full day.
