Vancouver Conference Satellite Meetings, Part II

Our last issue published an overview of the scientific program of the XI International Conference on AIDS (Vancouver, July 7-12, 1996), with notes on travel arrangements, skills building meetings, Community Forum 96, and the satellite meetings scheduled for July 5 and 6, before the official conference begins. We did not have space for the satellite meetings July 7 to July 12, so they are listed here. We do not know of any conference-related meetings scheduled in Vancouver after July 12.

Resistance meeting note: A small invitational workshop on HIV resistance to antivirals occurs every year, often shortly before the international conference (which now takes place only in even-numbered years). This year the Fifth International Workshop on HIV Drug Resistance will meet in Whistler, Canada, July 3-6. A written summary should be available at the Vancouver conference.
