8th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2015), 19 – 22 July 2015, Vancouver, Canada

The 8th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2015) was held from 19 – 22 July 2015.
This large biennial meeting has a greater focus on clinical and scientific research than the broader social-based programme of the International AIDS Conference with which it alternates every two years.
The programme for the conference is now posted to the IAS 2015 website as PDF files and the Programme-at-a-Glance (PAG) is also online.
Many oral presentations are available as webcasts, including some plenary lectures, special symposia, oral abstract sessions and the opening and closing ceremonies. But coverage seems less than previous years and this is a pity. Many of the PowerPoint slides from talks and PDF files of posters are online.
Although currently access to the this material is predominantly through the online programme-at-a-glace, for those who find navigation takes slightly longer, i-Base have published a short access guide.
Unfortunately, URL hyperlinks to individual abstracts are not available with the current PAG. This is likely to limit practical access to this otherwise important aspect of the conference.
