Call for submission for organizing AIDS2010 hubs – deadline 30 June!

For those active in the response against HIV/AIDS but cannot attend the conference in Vienna,  for delegates going to Vienna and committed to follow up when they return,  AIDS 2010 organizers invite you to be part of the movement for expanded access by organizing an independent hub in your region. Independent hubs are “mini-conferences”, hosted by local organizations around the world, featuring screenings of a selection of videotaped sessions followed by moderated discussions on how the content of the session may be used to strengthen the response to HIV locally.

A conference hub is a unique chance to engage regional leadership, build professional capacities among local stakeholders and develop new partnerships, with the potential of developing a comprehensive plan for future actions at the local or regional levels. For your organization, it’s also a great opportunity to develop your visibility and credibility towards local stakeholders, demonstrating your involvement in the response to HIV/AIDS.

Organizing an independent hub is easy and access to AIDS 2010 conference content is free. The AIDS 2010 conference hubs team provides a dedicated online access for hubs organizers to easily select and download the videotaped sessions as well as a toolkit to help you organize your hub. For more information, please visit our website at Conference Hubs at AIDS 2010 or contact us at hubs@aids2010.org.

Independent hub submission closes on 30 June 2010
