Virtual Event

Despite all COVID19 issues, confinement, it was decided that  there was a need to connect again to reinforce awareness and advocacy worldwide, so a decision was taken that the VIPOC conference 2020 will was going to be held virtually on Friday December 4th ,2020

 

During that time, the patient leaders had the opportunity to talk about their realizations for 2020 (meetings, new members, activities, etc) they were able to share their future action plans and projects for 2021 and look at how to expand vitiligo awareness on a regional basis.

Vitiligo International Symposium 2020

The third VIS, initially scheduled for December 2020 in Bangalore (India), had to be held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, it was a real success: more than 1,000 people connected followed the presentations of specialists around the world (research, studies, clinical trials, new therapies, etc.).
