We are pleased to invite you to the 2018 American Hair Research Summit (2018AHRS) to take place May 14-16, 2018, preceding the International Investigative Dermatology (IID 2018), at the beautiful Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida, USA. This unprecedented summit will feature prominent researchers from across the Americas who will share their most recent discoveries in hair disorders research and treatments.

The Summit is a pinnacle moment for the new American Hair Research Society, which was the former North American Hair Research Society (NAHRS). With the great interest and contributions in hair research from colleagues in Central and South America, the “NAHRS” has expanded to “AHRS” to encompass hair researchers from all the Americas. The Summit is the first, large conference of AHRS to celebrate this expansion.

All are welcome – whether from the Americas or not – to participate, submit abstracts, network, collaborate, exhibit and sponsor. Please join your colleagues of hair biologists, dermatologists, cosmetic scientists, hair transplantation surgeons, and industry experts for this pinnacle hair research meeting. The Summit will include general sessions, scientific posters, tabletop exhibits, discussion tables, and more.

We look forward to welcoming you to Orlando!
