US Fast-Track Cities Summit

September 15-17

The Jung Hotel, 1500 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA

Hosted by the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC), US Fast-Track Cities Summit is coming to New Orleans!

Fast Track Cities is a global effort to end HIV by 2030. The City of New Orleans is a Fast Track City.

The 3-day Summit will include a keynote address, plenary sessions, panel discussions, abstract presentations, skills-building workshops, and networking opportunities. Special sessions will address the sustainability of city and county responses amid federal retrenchment, scale-up of HIV prevention innovations, and stronger integration with broader public health systems. Voices from community, clinical, research, and policy sectors will be interwoven to generate practical recommendations for advancing the urban HIV response across the United States.

Through their engagement at the Summit, participants will:

• Analyze progress towards achieving the EHE initiative’s targets by 2025 and 2030
• Explore scalable, person-centered strategies to expand equitable access to HIV services
• Discuss community-led models that support key populations living with and affected by HIV
• Strengthen the integration of HIV services within primary care and public health systems
• Identify contingency planning tools to sustain gains amid policy and funding environment shifts
• Contribute to a shared roadmap for urban jurisdictions to meet and exceed EHE targets
