From August 13th – 18th, 2006, Toronto hosted the XVI International AIDS Conference (www.aids2006.org) at the Metro Convention Centre.
The Conference theme - Time to Deliver - focused AIDS 2006 on the promises and progress made to scale-up treatment, care and prevention. Conference sessions and activities were designed to engage all delegates in dialogue about strategies to meet these shared goals.
We would like to thank the organizers of the conference for all their work and assistance. We welcomed people from all over the globe at our booth in the global village. We created connections in this global endeavour to learn, share and grow. We were pleased to have met all of you who came to see us there and look forward to seeing you at the next
challenge.
