Exciting things are on the way! Check out a sneak peek of what’s to come:

Our event will start on Tuesday, 16th September, with a full day of workshops. These skills-building workshops will provide hands-on training in evidence-based practices. There is an extra fee of $30 USD to attend, and you’ll need to choose your workshop when you fill out the registration form.

The Opening Ceremony will take place on Wednesday, 17th September. From then until Thursday, 18th September, you’ll enjoy a mix of inspiring Keynote Presentations and Panel Discussions, where you can learn, share ideas, and connect with others. Global and National leaders in addiction science will present groundbreaking research, policy insights, and innovative interventions.

On Friday, 19th September, the programme continues with our Cultural and Networking Day. This is not only a chance to enjoy the rich and beautiful Balinese culture, but also an important opportunity to strengthen connections, build new partnerships, and nurture friendships in a relaxed and inspiring setting. It’s a meaningful way to end the week together.
