Hosted by the Southern AIDS Coalition (SAC), SOS has grown since 2013 into one of the South’s most impactful convenings dedicated to the health, leadership, and the collective power of Black LGBTQIA+ communities. Each year, we bring together advocates, healthcare leaders, policymakers, funders, researchers, and community organizers who are driving change across the region. 

Our 2026 theme, Collective Action for Collective Impact, reflects the urgency of working across sectors to achieve monumental progress toward ending new HIV diagnoses in the South, with an emphasis on Black Queer communities.
