Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to welcome you to the 2025 North American Veterinary Dermatology Forum in Orlando, Florida, from April 27-30. This year’s forum promises to be an enriching experience with a diverse range of topics and activities designed to enhance our knowledge and skills in veterinary dermatology.

We are honored to have Dr. Stephen White as our keynote speaker, who will undoubtedly provide valuable insights into the progress in our field. Additionally, the forum will feature a cryosurgery wet lab, sessions on fungal diseases and emerging resistance, a clinical track in Spanish, dermatologic oncology, and the integration of artificial intelligence in dermatology. We will also explore dermatology through a global lens, offering a comprehensive view of the challenges and innovations worldwide. This is a unique opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research from leaders in the field and to engage in meaningful discussions with fellow professionals.

Beyond the professional development opportunities, Orlando offers a plethora of entertainment options to make your stay enjoyable. From the magical world of Walt Disney World and the thrilling rides at Universal Studios to the aquatic adventures at SeaWorld and the serene beauty of the Harry P. Leu Gardens, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

I look forward to seeing you all at the forum and sharing this exciting experience together.

Warm regards,

Kristin Holm, DVM, DACVD
