From July 26 to 31, Rio de Janeiro hosted AIDS 2026, organized by the International AIDS Society
The conference brought together thousands of researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, community representatives, and organizations from around the world to exchange knowledge and discuss the future of HIV prevention, treatment, research, and human rights.
Being part of this event gave us at QuickSpace the opportunity not only to contribute to the event itself but also to witness firsthand how global gatherings can bring people, ideas, and cultures together.
Rethink. Rebuild. Rise
The theme of AIDS 2026 was "Rethink. Rebuild. Rise," a message that goes beyond HIV.
- Rethink: questioning current methods and seeking new concepts, tools, and answers in research, treatment, and prevention.
- Rebuild: strengthening the networks, communities, and partnerships needed to ensure that progress continues, especially given the growing challenges facing global health initiatives.
- Rise: uniting and putting knowledge into practice. Because progress is not achieved by a single organization, nation, or field. Collaboration makes it happen.
Why Events Like AIDS 2026 Matter
The importance of international conferences is illustrated by events such as AIDS 2026. They bring together people who may work in completely unrelated fields but share similar goals.
Researchers and healthcare professionals can share new findings and experiences. Policymakers can discuss how research can be put into practice. Communities and organizations can make their voices heard. People can interact in person and form new alliances.
With nearly 7,500 attendees, over 150 seminars, 2,400 posters, and 220 Global Village events, AIDS 2026 provided a massive platform for cooperation and the exchange of information.
In our opinion, this is what gives an event its true value. It goes beyond what happens on the main stage.
Our Role at AIDS 2026
We at QuickSpace were pleased to contribute in this way.
Collaborating with AIDS 2026 gave us the opportunity to contribute to a conference where important discussions about research, healthcare, policy, and communities took place.
For us, creating an additional room is not just about creating a space.
Our Quickspaces allow people to concentrate, share ideas, and work together—whether during presentations, meetings, networking events, or more intimate conversations—away from the main program.
Flexibility is particularly crucial for an event like AIDS 2026. With thousands of participants and such a varied program, different types of breakout sessions are needed.
Play
From the Netherlands to Brazil.
Traveling from the Netherlands to Brazil for AIDS 2026 was also a personal highlight!
Coming from the Netherlands, we are used to a very different environment—from the climate and landscape to the way people communicate and experience events. When we arrived in Rio de Janeiro, we immediately sensed a completely different energy.
What stood out was the warmth, openness, and friendly atmosphere. There was a strong sense of community, and it was fascinating to see how the local culture became part of the overall event experience.
It also gave us a chance to step outside our familiar surroundings and look at events from a different perspective.
What We Take Home from Rio de Janeiro
Looking back on AIDS 2026, we are taking home much more than just memories of a great event in Rio.
We come away with a deeper appreciation for the powerful impact that bringing people together can have—for the ideas that emerge when different perspectives meet, for the partnerships that begin with a simple conversation, and for the importance of creating environments where people feel encouraged to connect.
It also reminded us that international events are constantly evolving. They need to be flexible, inclusive, and adaptable to the people and communities they serve.
Thank you, AIDS 2026 and Rio de Janeiro, for an experience we will cherish long after we return to the Netherlands.

As always everything was great, the set up and take down crew was excellent, we will be happy to book again.
The domes were very well received! People enjoyed experiencing something different in a room than the standard setting. This also invited more interaction and more creativity, exactly what we wanted to achieve. In addition, the dividers also functioned perfectly.
In short, we are very happy! So we will surely knock on your door again in the future.
"The cooperation with QuickSpace is always very professional, the support always friendly and everything is delivered exactly as agreed."
Many of our clients have already had the pleasure of working with QuickSpace materials at the Van Nelle Factory. Their design keeps sound within the sub-sessions, making it a pleasant environment for presentations, brainstorming sessions or one-on-one meetings. The LED lighting also adds to the atmosphere.
QuickSpace offers unique soundproof spaces that we use to create presentation rooms and workshop spaces in our event venue. Their solutions make us much more flexible in meeting our clients' needs for separate spaces.
For events with breakouts or parallel sessions, QuickSpace's Domes are ideal. Quick installation is a big plus for our clients, and the LED lighting makes them highly visible in the room and adds to the atmosphere.
Quickspace is a great company to work with. They are super flexible and always think with us for the different projects at our Kromhout Hall. They also have many options for creating separate spaces and the materials are professional. Everything always looks neat and tidy!
