In 2004, the UK hosted the ECTO4, a significant milestone as one of the initial International Conferences on ectodermal dysplasia. These conferences have since become a recurring event in Europe, taking place every three years. It is with great honour and pride that we are now announcing our role as hosts for the 9th Conference, ICED25, to be held in Birmingham on 10th – 12th June 2025.
ICED25 will highlight excellence within the rare disease field, and prompt discussion, reflection, and action. We collaborate with other Ectodermal Dysplasia organisations worldwide dedicated to improving the health and well-being of people affected by the Ectodermal Dysplasias.
The first two days of the ICED25 Conference are for medical professionals only.
The third day (12th June) is our “Family Day”, exclusively for individuals affected and parents, providing a unique chance to delve deeper into the world of ED with the medical professionals in attendance. (Medical Professionals are encouraged to also attend this day.)
This day will offer a valuable platform to have our families questions answered, it will feature interactive Q&A sessions covering all aspects of ectodermal dysplasia.
Beyond the educational aspect, it’s also a wonderful opportunity for them to connect and build meaningful friendships with others who share their journey.
Building upon the success of previous conferences in London (2004), Copenhagen (2006), Norway (2015), Spain (2018), and Paris (2022), ICED25 will bring together paediatricians, dentists, scientists, dermatologists, ear, nose and throat specialists, geneticists, oral and maxillo-facial surgeons, ophthalmologists, experts in child development and other specialists to discuss the challenges of ectodermal dysplasia and the latest advances in research.
By working in partnership with patient organisations and professionals, we are breaking the isolation felt by those living with ectodermal dysplasia, uniting all into a single unified force.
World class speakers have accepted an invitation to present their research, including an update on the first recombinant protein therapy being developed for patients with the most common form of ectodermal dysplasia – XLHED.
