Welcome message from the Organizing Committee
We are delighted to invite you to the seventh edition of the EAACI-ESCD Skin Allergy Meeting (SAM), Europe’s leading event dedicated to skin allergy. SAM 2025 will be held in person in the beautiful city of Bilbao, Spain, from 27-29 March 2025, offering a fantastic opportunity for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to delve into the latest breakthroughs and innovations in the field of cutaneous allergy and related disorders.
This biannual meeting, co-organized by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) and the European Society for Contact Dermatitis (ESCD), has earned a reputation as the premier forum for discussing cutting-edge research and clinical advancements in skin allergies, contact dermatitis, and other environmental and occupational skin diseases. Our goal is to provide you with a rich, educational experience that will elevate your knowledge and broaden your professional network.
Throughout the event, you will have the chance to attend keynote lectures from world-renowned experts, who will share their insights on the most critical topics in the field, including: Atopic dermatitis, urticaria, cutaneous drug allergy, food and the skin, angioedema and pediatric contact dermatitis.
But SAM 2025 is not just about lectures—it’s about connection and collaboration. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to engage with fellow professionals from across Europe and the globe, fostering meaningful discussions and exploring new possibilities for joint research and clinical initiatives. By sharing your experiences, knowledge, and challenges, you will contribute to the development of new strategies that can improve the quality of life for patients suffering from skin allergies.
Don’t miss the chance to be part of this important milestone in the field of skin allergy research and clinical practice. Join us in Bilbao for an enriching experience that will enhance your expertise and inspire your future work!

Welcome Message from the VP of Congresses
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to the EAACI-ESCD Skin Allergy Meeting 2025 (SAM 2025), which will take place in the vibrant city of Bilbao from 27 to 29 March 2025. This meeting is a unique opportunity to gather and share the latest insights into skin allergy research, diagnosis, treatment, and management.
At SAM 2025, we will explore critical advancements in contact dermatitis, chronic urticaria, cutaneous drug hypersensitivity, mastocytosis, and atopic dermatitis, among other important topics. With skin conditions continuing to be some of the most prevalent allergic diseases, this meeting aims to address the ongoing challenges in dermatological allergy care and patient management.
This year, we are particularly excited to spotlight novel treatments for atopic dermatitis, focusing on individualized management based on phenotypes and co-morbidities. With new biologicals and targeted therapies emerging, SAM 2025 will offer insights into how these innovations are transforming the landscape of treatment for atopic dermatitis patients, including those with complex presentations like ocular disease. Our program includes in-depth sessions to discuss the implications of these advancements and how to integrate them into clinical practice for improved patient outcomes.
In addition, we will present cutting-edge sessions such as “What’s New in Contact Dermatitis 2025,” discussions on emerging allergens, the latest in chronic spontaneous urticaria management, and workshops on facial contact dermatitis and pediatric allergy testing. You will also find in-depth sessions addressing the differential diagnosis of hypersensitivities and the management of complex cases such as drug-induced angioedema and hereditary angioedema (HAE).
With plenary symposia, workshops, interactive Q&A sessions, and an opportunity to meet the experts, SAM 2025 offers an interdisciplinary platform for advancing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and shaping the future of dermatological allergy treatment.
We warmly encourage you to register, submit your research, and be part of the international dialogue. Join us in Bilbao as we come together to improve the lives of our patients and push the boundaries of skin allergy science.
Looking forward to seeing you in Bilbao!
