The International Coalition of Older People with HIV (iCOPe HIV) is pleased to share three opportunities to get involved if you’ll be attending AIDS2024 in Munich, Germany at the end of July:
Intergenerational Relationship-Building Events
The organizers of the Youth Pavilion (Youthforce) and The Silver Zone (European AIDS Treatment Group & Realize), two networking zones within the Global Village at AIDS2024, are coming together to co-organize two opportunities for intergenerational learning. Join us!
Pleased to Meet You! Facilitated Intergenerational Networking
Tuesday July 23 from 12:15-12:50 CET

Using a “speed dating” approach, people living with HIV will have the opportunity to meet and greet and learn from others of different ages and stages. No need to register to join in the fun – just show up!
Sharing Living Expertise: Intergenerational Panel Discussion
Wednesday July 24 from 12:00-13:00 CET
The Silver Zone

Share Your Project or Living Expertise in the Disability Networking Zone
The Disability Networking Zone (DNZ) is a welcoming and accessible space in the Global Village at AIDS2024 where Realize alongside partners will create a people-first hub that facilitates connection, provides opportunity to learn about research and good practice, and enables people living with HIV who experience disability to fully engage in presentations, discussions, and interactive learning sessions.
To submit an application to host a presentation, workshop, discussion or story, please use this form.
Volunteer to help us make The Silver Zone a success!
The Silver Zone is a networking zone dedicated to ageing and older people living with HIV to be held in the Global Village at AIDS 2024 (Munich, Germany, 21 to 25 July). Entry to the Global Village is free and open to the public. It does not require the payment of a conference registration fee. (For more information about the conference visit: www.aids2024.org)
EATG, Realize and other organizational partners are looking for motivated ageing and older persons living with or affected by HIV, students, advocates and others to provide volunteer support within the networking zone. Volunteers will help visitors access information and support the implementation of programming scheduled within The Silver Zone. This will be a great opportunity to meet international visitors and to network with delegates from the conference!
Please complete the form below to be considered as a volunteer within The Silver Zone. Roles, responsibilities and scheduling will be confirmed after July 10, 2024.
