Tropical Dermatology encompasses a wide array of dermatological problems that are unique, more widespread, prove more difficult to treat and control, in tropical and subtropical regions. Millions are known to suffer from these diseases, some of which are classified as neglected tropical diseases. This conference expects to focus on current issues in diagnosis, management and prevention of all tropical skin diseases. Organizing Committee intends to bring global representation to a wide array of core issues relevant to tropical dermatology. The programme consists of plenary lectures, symposia, advances, guest lectures, free papers, and posters. Our aim is to create a forum for exchange of ideas and spread of knowledge on tropical dermatology among the dermatology fraternity and to create avenues towards improvement in patient care.
 
We yet again cordially invite you to experience Sri Lankan hospitality and friendliness which will be extended to all delegates and accompanying persons. The venue, The Kingsbury, a five star luxury hotel, conveniently located on the beach front and in the center of Colombo is within reach of other hotels in Colombo. This will be the perfect launching point for delegates to discover the fast developing city of Colombo, and Sri Lanka, the tiny island in the south Indian Ocean which is a land of contrasting landscapes, rainforest, diverse wildlife and endless sandy beaches.
