For the first time, the Conference Team is opening up the behind-the-scenes work of the Harm Reduction International Conference to the wider community through the Conference Collective, a new membership designed to keep our global network connected beyond the event itself. The Conference Collective offers a way to stay engaged throughout the two-year conference cycle, strengthen relationships across the field, and actively support the ongoing work that makes the biennial conference possible.
Our conference brings together 1000+ delegates every two years for learning, exchange, activism and solidarity. At the heart of this gathering is a growing global community committed to advancing drug policies rooted in dignity, health, and human rights.
