Compared to Other Addiction Conferences

Scope of Curriculum Full continuum of care across prevention, harm reduction, treatment, recovery, and law enforcement with tracks that encourage cross-sector solutions. Often limited to one area such as treatment or public health.
Learning Format Interactive panels, federal briefings, case studies, and networking groups designed for practical takeaways. Mostly lecture-style sessions with limited dialogue.
Faculty and Voices Wide range of federal leaders, researchers, clinicians, law enforcement officials, community advocates, public health officials, and people with lived experience. Smaller speaker lineups with less sector diversity.
Policy and Partnerships Strong presence from federal and state agencies that catalyze policy and program development. Fewer multi-agency collaborations and policy-forward sessions.
Community Impact Long-standing hub for partnerships and knowledge exchange that continue after the event. More often a standalone meeting without sustained engagement.
