The Foundation for Ichthyosis & Related Skin Types gathers every two years to connect, learn, share, solve problems, advocate, and inspire each other. Our work cannot be done without the support and partnership of companies and organizations like yours. We invite you to consider being a part of the magic when passionate people unite around a shared experience and consider sponsorship of our 2026 National Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Benefits of sponsorship include:
• Engaging with the ichthyosis community, including patients, parents, dermatologists, researchers, medical students and other stakeholders at the world’s largest gathering for those interested in this rare genetic skin condition • Informing and educating the ichthyosis community about your organization’s products, services, strategies, and new developments 
• Taking advantage of a professionally-organized conference run by a neutral nonprofit where content is curated by the community
• Meeting with patients and families to learn about life with ichthyosis, its challenges, little victories and hopes for the future
• Introducing your brand to a community looking for solutions and improvements in their day-to-day life with this management intensive condition
• Learning from future users of your in-development treatments and products
• Giving back to an active patient advocacy community
• Supporting the conference to make it more inclusive and ensure it delivers on its mission and objectives

This year's conference will take place June 25-28, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

We estimate 350-450 attendees representing affected individuals, parents, families, dermatologists, researchers and medical students.
