17th World Congress of the International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology (IACD)

Come for the congress, stay for Istanbul in late June, when the city is warm and the Bosphorus shimmers at golden hour. Between sessions, walk the old city's alleys from Hagia Sophia to the Grand Bazaar, then cool off with a traditional Turkish ice cream or a glass of çay by the water at Le Meridien's rooftop terrace.
