Submit

Deadline

10 April 2017. Notifications will be sent by the beginning of May.

The conference is also accepting proposals for satellite sessions, which are scheduled outside the core programme hours. Submissions will be accepted until all available time slots are filled, so organisations are encouraged to submit their proposals early. 

The conference will be held in Guadalajara, Mexico, on 11 to 14 October 2017 under the theme ‘Accelerating Toward Elimination’. It will build on momentum from last year’s conference in Liverpool, with a focus on how to accelerate toward elimination on multiple fronts including tuberculosis (TB) and co-infections, improving tobacco control and reducing air pollution.
