The immortals aren’t waiting until Friday night to start networking. 🧛‍♀️🥂

Before PEARLS goes fully after dark, meet us by the river for a relaxed welcome reception overlooking Savannah’s Historic District.

Coming solo? This is the perfect place to meet the dermatology PAs and NPs you’ll be learning alongside all weekend. Thursday’s final session ends at 5:45 PM, and the reception begins immediately afterward, so simply step outside and keep the conversation going.

No cape required. Come as you are, grab a drink and start turning new faces into familiar ones.

How thirsty are you? 🩸

If you don’t have an outfit planned for THIRST, here’s your reminder! Friday night at PEARLS calls for a transformation, and there’s more than one way to answer the Vampire Ball theme.

Keep it subtle with silk, silver and a lace mask. Add oxblood velvet, gothic jewelry or a dramatic cape. Or commit completely with fangs, theatrical makeup and an all-out ballgown.

Swipe through 11 looks for Thirst: A Vampire’s Ball, then choose the level that feels like you. This is inspiration (not a dress code!) borrow a detail, build from pieces you own or embrace the full transformation.

One important timing note: Friday’s dinner symposium ends at 7:45 PM, and the Vampire Ball begins at 8:00 PM at the Club Pavilion. If you’re attending dinner, arrive mostly Vampire Ball-ready or prepare for a very quick cape-fangs-red-lip reveal. Shuttles depart from the main lobby.

Save your look, send this to your PEARLS person and tell us: subtle bite or full transformation?

PEARLS 2026 has bite. 🩸

Dermatology PAs and NPs are heading to Savannah for sessions built around the questions that follow you into practice, from hair loss and pigment to inflammatory disease, complex rashes, pediatric updates, blistering diseases, and emerging therapies.

Build your schedule around what you need now, then leave room for the sessions that could change how you approach your next patient.
