We have been carefully monitoring updates and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as state and local governments, regarding the coronavirus outbreak. We are also aware of the increasing number of travel advisories and restrictions being placed on health care providers, hospitals, and institutions globally.

Because we regard the health and well-being of all involved in the conference to be of the utmost importance, we have decided to postpone the RAD 2020 meeting, scheduled to take place on April 4-6, 2020, in Chicago, Illinois. We plan to reschedule the meeting for December 5-7, 2020, at the same venue, the Chicago Marriott O’Hare.

Further details will be provided in the upcoming weeks. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago this December. The Virtual Conference will give you an opportunity to avail yourself of high-quality, multidisciplinary, and CME-approved education about atopic dermatitis during a time when many other academic meetings have been cancelled. We received more than 50 abstract submissions for cutting-edge research in atopic dermatitis for the live RAD meeting, and the Virtual Conference will feature some of this outstanding research, as well as highlight dynamic lectures from the RAD faculty.
