Announcements

AIDS 2016 is fast approaching and we are excited to spread the word about MPTs at this important conference. This will be an excellent opportunity for us to raise awareness around MPTs, engage with new stakeholders, and showcase the work of the global IMPT network. We are particularly interested in compiling a list of MPT-relevant presentations and sessions at AIDS 2016, for circulation among conference delegates.
 
As many of you know, the IMPT Secretariat will also be hosting a booth in the exhibition hall at the conference. We want to ensure that the IMPT's booth reflects the diverse membership of our global network, and with this in mind, please let us know if you, your colleagues, and/or your organization would be interested in the following:  
  • If you will be in attendance and would like to help us staff the booth for a one hour shift or more, please sign up using this form.
  • If you would like us to display your MPT-relevant materials at the booth, please respond to this email. We ask that you provide at least 50 copies.
  • If your organization would like to contribute toward the cost of the booth, please respond to this email, and I will send a link to the IMPT Secretariat's PayPal account. We would be incredibly grateful for a contribution of any size, and will be acknowledging organizations that contribute on our event signage and other materials.
