World Vitiligo Day 2026 in Chandigarh, INDIA

After 12 years, World Vitiligo Day returns to Chandigarh, India 🇮🇳 — the movement’s spiritual birthplace — reuniting the global vitiligo community in one powerful gathering.

Patients and families, clinicians and researchers, advocates, artists, and innovators will come together to share knowledge, build connections, and shape the next chapter of vitiligo care and support.

Come for the knowledge.
Get practical updates on the latest research, real-world treatments, and what’s actually changing in patient care.

Stay for the people.
Connect with a global community that truly understands the journey — the unpredictable flares, autoimmune challenges, and daily realities — without needing to explain a word.

Leave with tools and momentum.
Walk away with evidence-based guidance, new relationships, and the empowering realization: “I’m not doing this alone.”

Moderated by Lee Thomas, 4-time Emmy Award-winning TV anchor and author.

Seats are limited. The momentum isn’t.
