Share your SOCS Moments and Memories

for our 20th Anniversary Celebration!

While the Skin of Color Society Scientific Committee is immersed in the final planning touches for an extraordinary 20th Annual SOCS Scientific Symposium for attendees, our SOCS Celebration Team is busy cooking up an unforgettable 20th experience for all to enjoy after our day of world-class insight, expertise and enrichment! 

As part of the vision for the post-Symposium bash, “Celebrating SOCS at 20: Past, Present & Future,” we would L-O-V-E to showcase your special SOCS moments and memories in photos as well as a quote from you about what SOCS means to you.

Please send us a favorite photo or two with a brief caption identifying the people pictured, the location/event, and the date (or even just the year). 

We would also welcome a quote about what SOCS has meant to you in your professional journey and/or a special SOCS memory, anecdote or tribute.

We truly hope you can join us in person for our 20th Annual Scientific Symposium and SOCS at 20 soirée in San Diego on March 7, and we encourage you to participate in the Celebration Montage by sharing your SOCS photo memories, meaningful moments and a personal message!
