title: Fighting to get into the restaurant.
abstract: Although perhaps not the highest profile AIDS conference in the world, the Seventh International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection, held November 14-18, 2004, in Glasgow, Scotland, had a unique profile. It consisted entirely of plenary sessions devoted to drug treatment. This saved delegates from having to rush from one venue to another and allowed people to concentrate on a single topic. The fact that the congress has been held in this format since 1992 is a strong confirmation that the organizers have found a winning formula. All but one of these congresses have been held in Glasgow, and it has been very interesting to see how attitudes have changed over the years. This seventh congress attracted more than 2,500 delegates from 69 countries. Highlights of the meeting are discussed in this report.
