Dear colleagues,

Korean Society for Psoriasis is excited to welcome you to the 26th Annual Meeting of the Korean Society for Psoriasis and Asian Summit for Psoriasis 2023. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, international exchanges have been limited over the past few years. However, this year, we are ready to host an in-person gathering and welcome psoriasis experts from both domestic and international backgrounds.

The level of psoriasis treatment in Korea has already caught up with international standards. However, various challenges, such as language barriers, have been hindering us from making a global contribution. Our visions and contributions are not being adequately integrated into global practices, such as international guideline development, research initiatives, and the new drug development process. We believe that fostering more international collaborations and building friendships is the initial step toward addressing this issue.

With this in mind, we have invited 14 psoriasis experts from various countries to this year's conference in order to gain insights into the latest trends in psoriasis treatment internationally, exchange valuable knowledge and opinions, and foster friendships between experts.

I sincerely hope that you will attend the conference, encourage our association, and share your latest insights, friendship and confidence.

Thank you.
