2nd South African AIDS Conference Announcement

The 1st SA AIDS Conference held in August 2003 became the largest medical conference - and, perhaps South Africa's largest all-inclusive conference. Successfully hosted at Durban's International Convention Centre, with 3 522 people participating, it's no surprise that 2005 has been marked for the gathering of all interested parties at the 2nd South African AIDS Conference!

The International Convention Centre in Durban will again play host to the 2nd SA AIDS Conference scheduled for 7 to 10 June 2005. The all-encompassing SA AIDS Conference 2003 aimed at achieving nothing less than providing a comprehensive, holistic and precisely relevant programme for all stakeholders, including researchers, community representatives, businesses and the media. Due to being a highly politicized and emotional subject, the fitting conference slogan Dira Sengwe meaning to "Take Action" was indeed attained as the conference attracted national and international focus, with the impressive number of delegates, a landmark 462 speakers, 76 exhibitions, more than 200 media representatives and a Guinness World Record for the longest ribbon for a social cause - a 2,39 km Old Mutual AIDS ribbon.

Prospective participants, speakers, media representatives, exhibitors and sponsors are now hereby invited to express their interest in participating at the 2nd SA AIDS Conference via the official conference website at www.sa-aidsconference.com for inclusion in updates on this anticipated and most significant event.
