Manage your submitted abstractSYNC 2026 invites you to move Forward in SYNChronicity—a collective momentum toward ending the epidemics through bold innovation, strategic implementation, and unified action. This year’s conference will center on driving meaningful dialogue and developing strategies that accelerate progress across HIV, HCV, STIs, harm reduction, and LGBTQ health.
SYNC 2026 announces a call for late-breaking abstracts to spotlight recent developments, emerging data, and groundbreaking research—including submissions from federally cut programs featured in our newly added track, Federal Research.
SYNC is uniquely positioned to deliver multi-disciplinary, intersectional content across diverse provider types and settings. The SYNC 2026 theme, Forward in SYNChronicity, emphasizes progress through collaboration, visibility, and innovation. We recognize the challenges many organizations face and aim to make SYNC a place where critical work continues to inform, inspire, and drive meaningful change.
