INVITATION

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 8th Istanbul Dermato-Gastro-Rheumatology Update Summit, which will be held on June 4–7, 2027, at Point Hotel Barbaros in Istanbul.

Since its first edition in 2020, our multidisciplinary meeting has continued to grow in both scientific scope and international participation. Following our first in-person meeting in 2022, the Summit has brought together distinguished experts from Türkiye and around the world. In 2026, we were honored to host 15 internationally renowned speakers, further strengthening the scientific and global character of the meeting.

Jointly organized by the Istanbul Branch of the Turkish League Against Rheumatism (TLAR) and Brown University, the Summit provides a unique platform for collaboration among the fields of dermatology, gastroenterology, and rheumatology.
The scientific program will focus on current approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and patient management in diseases that require multidisciplinary care. Alongside expert lectures, the program will feature Meet the Expert sessions, practical courses, and case-based discussions, with a strong emphasis on real-world clinical practice and interactive learning.

We believe that bringing together different specialties and perspectives will create a highly valuable environment for scientific exchange, discussion, and collaboration.

Your participation and scientific contributions will greatly enrich our meeting, and we look forward to welcoming you to Istanbul, the extraordinary city where Asia and Europe meet.

Sincerely,

Symposium Co-Chairs
