The Skin of Color Society (SOCS) proudly presents the 8th Annual Media Day, titled Trends & Truths in Skin of Color: Setting the record straight in the age of misinformation. Returning to a dynamic, virtual press-conference format, this day brings together leading voices in dermatology and the media.
Since its inception in 2015, SOCS Media Day has evolved into a premier forum for expert insights, breaking news, and media engagement on skin of color dermatology. Past events have generated national and international coverage, fostered long-standing editorial relationships, and created high-impact educational content, including the acclaimed MelanatED series and Ask the Experts videos.
On Tuesday, November 18, 2025, Media Day will feature 8 nationally and globally recognized SOCS experts, who will present on timely and newsworthy topics at the intersection of dermatology, science, health equity, aesthetic medicine, and lifestyle trends.
