Why Support the PeDRA Conference?
The PeDRA Annual Conference is a uniquely dynamic event, with a growing audience that includes the “who’s who” in pediatric dermatology research, the next generation of leaders in the field, patient advocates, and other stakeholders interested in advancing science for children and families living with the burden of skin diseases and conditions. PeDRA views industry partners as critical strategic allies and welcomes companies with an interest in connecting with, learning from, and messaging to its audience at the 2026 Annual Conference.
Just a few of the reasons to support the PeDRA Annual Conference:
- Be part of the conversations that shape the future of research and drug development in the field. PeDRA is the only annual event dedicated entirely to research in the field of pediatric dermatology.
- Strengthen relationships with current and future leaders in the field through numerous networking opportunities with attendees ranging from established KOLs, medical students and everyone in between.
- Demonstrate your commitment to patient communities spanning the field of pediatric dermatology. The PeDRA Annual Conference brings together dozens of patient advocacy groups and an annual meeting of its own Patient Advisory Committee.
- Provide vital resources to support PeDRA’s mission to create, inspire, and sustain research to prevent, treat, and cure childhood skin disease.
How to Support the PeDRA Annual Conference?
When you support the PeDRA Annual Conference it’s more than just a transaction. You join PeDRA as an ally in pursuit of its mission and vision. PeDRA is dedicated to providing meaningful value to Annual Conference supporters through these benefits and more:
- Carefully curated sponsorship packages and itemized sponsorship options providing access, engagement, and visibility for companies of any size or at any stage of development.
- Accessible advisory board meetings with hands-on support from PeDRA to recruit advisors, build an agenda, and get creative when necessary.
- Educational opportunities during a Platinum Sponsor Symposium (1 available), breakfast presentations, literature distribution, and the chance to submit abstracts for consideration as posters or oral presentations.
- A dynamic exhibit hall dominated by patient advocacy partners (who exhibit for free), but with plenty of space for companies interested in sharing with our audience. Plus, a fun and popular conference game that drives traffic to every exhibit table.
- Targeted messaging and visibility through a conference app, general sessions, Focused Study Group breakout sessions, and events including the Dash for Discovery fun run/walk/yoga and (in)famous Karaoke Reception.
- Personalized support to help every sponsor make the most of their time at the conference, regardless of the level of support.
