Get ready for the 22nd International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2018). This year’s event runs from July 23 to 27 in Amsterdam. Like previous conferences—they are held every other year—this one promises to be a mammoth production, where researchers, doctors and AIDS specialists present their latest and often groundbreaking studies; where workshops, presentations and panel discussions dive deep into HIV-related issues; where countless AIDS organizations, pharmaceutical giants and advocacy groups set up booths for the public; and where movies are screened, networking takes place, protests erupt and friendships are made.
