Affiliated Independent Events, held by organizations or individuals external to the IAS, will take place around the activities of IAS 2025. To qualify, events must address HIV-related topics, and/or issues faced by people living with and affected by HIV and/or organizations responding to the HIV pandemic. They may be population or issue specific. These events can take various shapes, including workshops, pre-meetings, forums, art exhibits or theatre. The IAS encourages event submitters to be creative when developing their events to address HIV and AIDS in new and original ways.
All Affiliated Independent Events will be published on the conference website and promoted on IAS 2025 social media channels.
Your event must meet the following criteria to be recognized as an IAS 2025 Affiliated Independent Event:
-
It must take place between 1 May and 20 July 2025.
-
It must take place outside the official IAS 2025 programme hours.
These are: Monday, 14 July, from 17:00 to 18:30 and Tuesday-Thursday, 15-17 July, from 09:00 to 17:30.
Please note that the IAS is not responsible for the organization, funding or final content of any such event; this is the sole responsibility of the event organizers. There is no cost involved in applying for your event to be considered or approved as an Affiliated Independent Event.
