What Attendees Say

First time attending. I was blown away by the vast information made available to a layman. Very informative, highlighting key points to help resolve our substance abuse crisis.

- 2026 Attendee

I personally had several moments of discovery about how to deliver our services, as well as learning how to make our coalitions more productive and not just a box checked for grant purposes.

- 2026 Attendee

I appreciated the opportunities provided, not only the opportunities to learn information at training sessions but also the ability to meet with both adult and youth ambassadors from around the country.
