It is a great pleasure for me to Chair the Organising Committee of the 105th Annual Meeting of the British Association of Dermatologists.

We are delighted to be returning to Glasgow, 3 years after our last 2022 meeting. The SEC Glasgow venue offers the space, facilities and central location to ensure we can deliver another successful annual meeting. Due to the increasing size of our meeting and particularly the exhibition we will be using a larger exhibition hall and incorporating the ‘silent’ seminar rooms introduced in Manchester in 2024.

I would like to thank Dr Chris Bower and the organising committee for a superb Manchester meeting in 2024. Please remember that registration for the 104th Annual Meeting and the virtual content is still available until the end of 2024.

The BAD Officers and the BAD Conference & Events committee have taken on board the positive feedback from the recent BAD Annual Meetings and would like to offer all physical attendees the opportunity to access all the conference content, after the meeting. There will also be a virtual registration option (to view post-live content after the in-person meeting) for those attendees unable to join us live in Glasgow. We do of course hope that as many of you as possible can attend in person in July 2025 and we look forward to seeing you all.
