How are satellite symposia scheduled?

The scheduling of satellite symposia is at the discretion of the AIDS 2024 Satellites team. Only Major Industry Sponsors can select their satellite symposium slot.

The Satellites team schedules satellite symposia on a first-come, first-paid, first-served basis that relates to when applications and payments are received, as well as availability of the satellite organizers’ chosen satellite symposium duration (60-minute, 90-minute or prime time).   

Do satellite symposia speakers need to be registered?

Speaker(s) who will be present in person in Munich will need to be registered. They can either register for the full conference or buy a day pass for the day of the satellite; a day pass will grant access to the full conference for that day.

Speaker(s) who will join virtually only to present during the satellite will be granted access to the green room (back-end access) to present during the satellite. No conference registration is required to access the green room for the satellite symposium presentation.
