Kaiser Foundation to provide free worldwide online coverage for 2012 AIDS Conference

There will be free worldwide online coverage for the 2012 AIDS conference which will be held in Washington DC from July 22-27, 2012.

This is after the International AIDS Society and Kaiser Family Foundation agreed to partner to offer free comprehensive daily coverage of the conference.

AIDS 2012 will feature presentations of important new scientific research and opportunities for dialogue on the major challenges facing the global response to AIDS.

“Kaiser is the official webcaster for AIDS 2012, providing coverage of daily developments from July 22 to 27 on its website, http://www.kff.org/aids2012/,” the organisers said in a statement copied to ghanabusinessnews.com.

In addition to more than 50 online webcasts of conference sessions and press conferences, Kaiser said podcasts will be available for downloading in both English and Spanish.

It is also providing the video for conference hubs, which will feature viewings of select AIDS 2012 conference sessions followed by discussions and workshops on how the sessions’ content can be applied locally.  “The two official conference hubs will be held in Kiev, Ukraine, and Kolkata (Calcutta), India, while more than 40 independent hubs across the world are already planned,” the Kaiser Foundation said.
