While traditional meetings are theoretically aimed at disseminating and advancing research, training professionals, and helping to establish evidence-based policy, the truth is that qualitative and quantitative studies that allow us to state that these (a priori, logical and self-evident) noble objectives are being achieved and are having a practical impact when conference-goers return to work are lacking. 1 Their principal values lies in the personal, face-to-face exchanges between professional colleagues who share doubts and concerns, and who have complementary ways of resolving them, which gives rise to the synergetic aggregation of knowledge in a short period of time. Since 1889, when José Eugenio de Olavide, the father of Spanish dermatology, and a small group of colleagues attended the First International Congress of Dermatology and Syphilology in Paris, France, scientific meetings and congresses have become extraordinary positive points of meeting, friendship, scientific debate and consensus in our professional setting.
