Submit a Satellite Symposium application

Satellite symposia provide your organization with a unique opportunity to showcase your work in a setting that will offer you an exceptional exposure to the world’s leading HIV professionals.

Satellite symposia will take place all day on Sunday 23 July and in the mornings and evenings from Monday 24 July to Wednesday 26 July. They are available for a fee, based on the room capacity and the time slot.

Though taking place in the conference centre, satellite symposia are fully organized and coordinated by the organization hosting the satellite. The conference organizers will review the content of each symposium to ensure that it meets the scientific and ethical principles of the conference.

Criteria for approval include the following:

• Satellites should reflect and/or support the vision and goals of the conference;
• Satellites should address HIV/AIDS, co-infections or issues faced by individuals or organizations affected by or responding to the HIV/AIDS epidemic;
• Satellites should reflect conference policies and goals of diversity and inclusion.

Satellite organizers who have booked prime time satellite slots will be offered 20 day passes regardless of the room capacity chosen.
