For 15+ years, the Rx and Illicit Drug Summit has been a leading force in the fight against the opioid and addiction crisis. It remains the most influential gathering of stakeholders, where groundbreaking ideas are exchanged, strategies are forged, and action takes root. Our work is not done.
While national overdose numbers have begun to decline, the crisis is far from over. Behind every data point is a community still hurting, a family still grieving, a person still struggling. Now more than ever, we must stay the course, sharing what’s working and advancing new, collaborative solutions across prevention, deflection, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery. Rx Summit 2027 is where those committed to change come together, from federal leaders to grassroots advocates, researchers to clinicians, and first responders to families.
Share strategies with decision-makers and allied professionals, embrace innovation, and learn about what is working in prevention, treatment, recovery, and law enforcement.
