For the 2026 STI Prevention Conference, we are committed to bringing together a diverse and dedicated community of leaders, researchers, clinicians, advocates, industry partners, and public health professionals to collectively move the field forward.
 
To support broad participation during a period of widespread budget constraints, conference registration has been reduced to $600. This discounted rate is designed to ensure that professionals facing funding cuts or limited institutional support can still participate fully in this important meeting.
 
Conference registration will be intentionally capped at 500 participants to foster an environment that supports meaningful engagement, thoughtful dialogue, and the development of strong collaborations. In a time when the STI field is navigating a dynamic environment, we believe it is essential to create a space where attendees can engage in deep and intentional conversations focused on strengthening and advancing STI prevention.
