• Invited speakers and session moderators will receive an email with instructions on how to register for free once they've been confirmed
• A single presenting author of an accepted abstract (or group of related abstracts) will receive instructions on how to register for free once the abstract has been accepted
• General attendees can apply for free registration. This option is only open to clinicians, service providers, students and people living with HIV in Ontario, and there are a limited number of free registrations available. To apply for free registration, select "New Registration" and then "Apply for free registration" and complete the registration form. Your approval status will be marked as pending until your application is reviewed.

What happens if my application for free registration is declined?

Although the OHTN would like to make HIV Endgame: Closing Gaps in the Care Cascade accessible to everyone, space and funding limitations mean that we cannot approve every application. If your application is declined, you will have the opportunity to either cancel registration or complete general registration for $150.

What happens if more than one author wants to present the same abstract?

We will do our best to facilitate presentations from more than one member of the research team, but only one author will receive free registration. During abstract submission, applicants will be asked to confirm the email address of the presenting author who will receive free registration.

Can I cancel or modify my registration later on?

Yes. When you complete registration (or an application for free registration) you will receive a confirmation email with a reference number. The reference number can be used to log back into the registration website and cancel or modify your registration. If you are unable to attend the conference for any reason after registering, we encourage you to cancel so that your spot can go to someone else. HIV Endgame: Closing Gaps in the Care Cascade has a lower registration cap than the annual OHTN Research Conference.

Is travel, hotel and childcare support available?

The OHTN is pleased to offer a limited number of scholarships to service providers, clinicians, students and people living with HIV. Preference is normally given to applicants from Ontario. Scholarship applications are separate from applications for free registration, meaning that attendees who wish to apply for both scholarship funding and free registration must complete two forms.

What is 14th International Symposium on NeuroVirology and how do I register for it?

This year, the OHTN will be hosting its October conference in conjunction with the 14th International Symposium on NeuroVirology, which is hosted by the International Society for NeuroVirology (ISNV). The Symposium runs from October 25-28, and content on the 26th is part of the HIV Endgame: Closing Gaps in the Care Cascade program. Endgame attendees have the opportunity to purchase discounted registration for the last two days of the Symposium during Endgame registration. If you wish to attend only the Symposium (and not attend Endgame), please purchase registration through the ISNV website.

What is the HIV Primary Care Education Day and how do I register for it?

HIV Primary Care Day is a full-day workshop hosted by St. Michael's Hospital on October 24th. The intended audience is primary care providers new to HIV (or those with a small number of patients) and medical students. Registration is available at this link. If you wish to attend both the Primary Care Day and HIV Endgame: Closing Gaps in the Care Cascade, you must register for each event separately.

What is the Ontario HIV Pharmacists Professional Specialty Group meeting and how do I register for it?

The Ontario HIV Pharmacists Professional Specialty Group is a network for pharmacists to share information, gain expertise, and develop and coordinate projects related to the field of HIV/AIDS Pharmaceutical Care in Ontario. The Pharmacy group is meeting on Wednesday, October 26th. Registration is available at this link. If you wish to attend both the Pharmacy meeting and HIV Endgame: Closing Gaps in the Care Cascade, you must register for each event separately.

Should I apply for a scholarship to cover my travel to the Pharmacy meeting or Primary Care Day?

Scholarship applications are only open to registrants who plan to attend HIV Endgame: Closing Gaps in the Care Cascade. Pharmacists registering for the Ontario HIV Pharmacists Professional Specialty Group meeting can apply for separately-funded travel support during registration for that event.

What is "HIV and the Brain in 90 Minutes"?

"HIV and the Brain in 90 Minutes" is a special session taking place on October 26th, the day that HIV Endgame: Closing Gaps in the Care Cascade shares the stage with the ISNV.
