Affiliated Independent Events

Are you organizing an event in the Bay Area related to the 23rd International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2020)? Would you like to increase your event’s visibility? Would you like to expand the promotion of your event at no extra cost? If so, submit your event to be an official AIDS 2020 Affiliated Independent Event.

We encourage you to be innovative when developing your event to raise awareness or address HIV-related issues in new and original ways. Events can take many different forms from performances to workshops, meetings, marches or even galas. Get creative with your ideas!

There is no cost involved in applying for affiliated status and all approved events will be published on the conference website, as well as promoted on AIDS 2020 social media channels.

Submissions close on 30 June 2020.
