2008 marks the 20th anniversary of the IAS. To commemorate this event the IAS invites delegates to a special satellite session, reflecting back on the early years of the IAS and the epidemic, and looking to the future.
In the past 20 years, many of the world's scientific and public health leaders in HIV have served on the IAS Governing Council (GC). As part of this session, a number of past IAS Presidents, as well as one of the world's most respected and long-standing advocates for the involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS in the response, have been invited to speak on their areas of expertise.
Meeting participants will also be introduced to the newly elected members of the GC, as well as current and former GC members. This meeting will also serve as the ordinary IAS General Members Meeting.
