and 8th
of MAY, 2022, at one of the best Venues, CLARK'S EXOTICA RESORT & SPA,
a spacious 5 star resort, close to airport and well connected to city for easy commute.
ConsideringtheeffectoftheCOVID19pandemiconyoungdermatologistswhohavegraduated
in the last three years, we have chosen the theme “A to Z of procedural dermatology”, where
in we shall try to cover most of the basic, routine, and specialized procedures in Dermatology,
Dermatosurgery, Aesthetic Dermatology and LASERs, comprehensively, to get maximum benefit
in two days of intense conferencing and learning.
We have chosen best of the topics and most experienced and erudite faculty, who will
deliberate with a combination of relevant theory, practical aspects & Video presentations to
give maximum benefit. Each session will be followed by discussion with interaction from the
delegates with the faculty.
Back to Roots Conferences are known for the delegates seated to full capacity without any
seat being vacant from beginning till the last session, focusing mainly on scientific deliberation
with no wastage of time on unwanted formalities. With the reputation of the organizing team,
you are assured of the best possible food, delegate kit and overall conference experience.
Since we had to reject nearly 700 delegates in the last version, this time to avoid that
unpleasant experience we have booked a single hall with the capacity of 2500 delegates, and we
hope the hall will be full as per the feedback we have received and it would be a treat to watch.
We once again assure you meticulously planned, very well organized conference with best
scientific content. You can count on us for unmatched hospitality and execution of conference to
