Collaborating.

Envisioning.

Leveraging.

Strategizing.

Join us on an in person and virtual journey to connect some of the brightest minds in Harm Reduction including those serving and working in the field every day, those with lived experiences, and those who are new to Harm Reduction.

At a time when our country is grappling with worsened overdose rates, a significant rise of opioid induced mental health crisis, the fentanyl era and rising data of communicable diseases we do hope that our conference will provide a forum that will lead to new partnerships and engagements that can identify, develop and implement cutting edge ideas, strategies and connections.
