About AIDS 2008
The world's attention is shifting to Mexico City where the next International AIDS Conference (IAC) is scheduled to take place from August 3-8, 2008. Mexico city will be the first Latin American country to host a conference of this size; over 21'000 people attended the AIDS 2006 conference in Toronto.
Held every 2 years, the conference provides many opportunities for the presentation of important new scientific research and productive, structured dialogue on the major challenges facing the global response to HIV and AIDS.
Conference organisers are developing a wide variety of session to meet the needs of various participants, and to support collective efforts to expand delivery of HIV prevention and treatment to communities worldwide. The transfer of knowledge and the sharing of best practices will be central to many of these sessions.
In addition to the conference sessions, there are a number of activities, including satellite meetings and exhibitions, Global Village, a cultural programme, that are integral too delegates' experiences at the conference.
