It is designed to facilitate and support dialogue and discussion, with a balance between quiet relaxation and tailored activities.
The Positive Lounge is located on the first floor West Entrance and offers views of the Munich skyline. Here, guests can take a break from the busyness of the conference. 

The Positive Lounge is staffed by volunteers equipped with active listening skills, and all have some background in HIV peer support. We strive to ensure that your conference experience and time in Munich is safe, productive and exciting.
