What is the Coalition Ideas Fair?

 

The Coalition Ideas Fair is a poster presentation session during at CADCA’s 36th Annual National Leadership Forum, in which emerging prevention research and cutting-edge strategies and implementation in coalition work are displayed. CADCA is actively seeking poster submissions from coalitions (youth, adult, or combined presenters), students and researchers that feature innovative approaches to coalition work, recent successful outcomes in addressing substance misuse issues, up-to-date interventions and strategies (particularly environmental-level strategies) and recent original substance misuse research. Submissions on community assessments and community-based participatory research will also be considered. This year’s theme is “Resilient Communities, Lasting Change”.
 
Submission Deadline: October 10, 2025
