Welcome Address

Dear colleagues and friends,

It is with great honor that I welcome you to the International Atopic Dermatitis Summit Seoul(IASS) 2025. Now in its third conference, the IASS represents our shared dedication to advancing the understanding and treatment of atopic dermatitis, a condition that presents significant challenges to both patients and healthcare professionals globally. This year’s program has been thoughtfully designed to address the multifaceted nature of atopic dermatitis, featuring cutting-edge sessions covering topics such as immunopathogenesis, advanced therapeutic strategies, primary prevention, and innovative approaches to itch management. In addition, the summit will highlight critical areas including comorbidities, the role of digital biomarkers, and the development of standardized diagnostic and care protocols, ensuring a holistic approach to patient care.

Hosting this summit in Seoul, the vibrant capital of Korea, adds further significance to the event. Known for its seamless blend of tradition and modernity, Seoul offers attendees a chance to explore its rich cultural heritage through historic landmarks such as Gyeongbokgung Palace and Namdaemun Market, alongside dynamic modern attractions in areas like Gangnam and Myeongdong. The Grand InterContinental Parnas, located in the heart of Gangnam, serves as an exceptional venue, featuring state-of-the-art facilities and close proximity to COEX, Asia’s largest underground shopping and convention complex.
This outstanding location, paired with a diverse and enriching academic program, will provide attendees with unparalleled opportunities to learn, collaborate, and fully immerse themselves in the unique charm of Seoul.

I extend my deepest gratitude to our speakers and participants for their invaluable expertise and contributions, which serve as the cornerstone of this event’s success. I encourage all attendees to actively participate in discussions, share their insights, and build connections that will drive progress in our field. We look forward to welcoming you to Seoul and providing an inspiring experience at IASS 2025.

Warm regards,

Eung Ho Choi
President, Korean Atopic Dermatitis Association
