The meeting also includes debates and panel discussions as alternative formats to provide opportunities to synthesize and share the latest developments in the field and to bring together individuals from different domains in an engaging interchange. The meeting brings together junior and senior researchers as well as investigators and experts in pediatric, adolescent and maternal HIV from the North and South to present their findings and synergize collaborations. The meeting includes several Young Investigator Awards for best presentations to encourage research in the pediatric HIV field by junior investigators. Additionally, the meeting provides scholarships for a number of individuals with accepted abstracts from developing countries to enable attendance and facilitate North-South interchange. Increasingly clinicians and program managers are attending the meeting, sharing field experience and providing important knowledge around the translation of research results to policy and implementation. Attendance has increased substantially (more than 200 attendees in 2015). Overall, one in two delegates resides in a low income country and 75% of all delegates are female. In 2015, a total of 35 young investigators and 10 academics from resource constrained settings.
