Conference Organisation Overview
The XV International AIDS Conference is organised by the
International AIDS Society (IAS) and the
Thai Ministry of Public Health as the local
Host. The co-organisers of the conference are
UNAIDS, three international community networks:
ICW, ICASO, GNP+ and
TNCA, a conglomerate of Thai AIDS NGOs.
Starting with Bangkok the IAS has established a central conference secretariat to organise the International AIDS Conferences as well as the HIV Pathogenesis and Treatment Conferences. The Local Host Secretariat is located in Bangkok to coordinate the work of local subcommittees. The Community Program Secretariat is located in Bangkok to handle capacity building, outreach and the community
aspects of the program.
Representatives from the organisers and co-organisers form the basis of the Conference Organising Committee (COC). The Chairs of the conference represent the IAS and the Local Host. The COC in turn appoints two chairs each for the Scientific Program Committee (SPC), Community Program Committee (CPC) and Leadership Program Committee. The Committee Chairs serve on the COC. The SPC, CPC and LPC are then composed of leading representatives from a variety of fields who bring a diverse expertise to the conference planning process.
