Call for Speakers

The IDS Committee is now accepting speaker applications for the 2026 Integrative Dermatology Symposium

Open through December 5, 2025 | Applications Notified January 23, 2026

According to ACCME Guidelines (Standard 3, Section 2), individuals who are owners or employees of ineligible companies (e.g., commercial interests) must generally be excluded from serving as planners or faculty in accredited education, unless one of the following exceptions applies:

The content is not related to the business lines or products of their employer;
The content is limited to basic science research or research methodologies, and does not include care recommendations;
The individual is participating as a technician, teaching the safe and proper use of a device, without recommending whether or when it should be used.

Additionally, under Standard 3 key definitions, holding unexercised stock options in an ineligible company does not qualify as ownership unless the company is privately held and the options are exercised. In such cases, our CME provider would assess relevance to the educational content and apply mitigation steps as needed.

The IDS Committee is now accepting speaker applications for the 2025 Integrative Dermatology Symposium and Integrative Esthetics Track.
