The COVID-19 pandemic represents an unprecedented global emergency that has now infected more than 3 million people worldwide and is already the most lethal new pandemic since the emergence of AIDS nearly 40 years ago. In recognition of the urgent need to analyse research, review policy and exchange frontline experiences related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the International AIDS Society hosted a virtual COVID-19 Conference on 10 - 11 July 2020, shining a spotlight on the latest science, policy and practice of the pandemic. The virtual COVID-19 Conference took place online on the last day of AIDS 2020: Virtual. It featured a free-of- charge, stand-alone programme of plenary, invited-speaker and abstract-driven sessions exclusively dedicated to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many global experts who participated in AIDS 2020: Virtual are leading voices in SARS-CoV-2 virology, immunology, vaccines, clinical care and therapeutic guidelines, and trials. The virtual conference will provide a unique opportunity to help shape the evolving global response to COVID-19.
