Drug Policy Alliance

Program

The Reform Conference takes place every two years and draws a wide range of participants including students, grassroots activists, scholars and other researchers, city, state and federal elected officials, people in recovery as well as active drug users, law enforcement officers, treatment providers and public health advocates.

In 2007, there were 59 sessions over the course of three days, including three plenary sessions. All sessions are 90 minutes long: usually 60 minutes of presentations and 30 minutes of question & answer. In 2009 we anticipate a similar schedule.

The bulk of Reform Conference sessions consistently fall into these broad topic areas:

• Advocacy Trainings
• Harm Reduction
• Foreign & International Drug Policies
• Prohibition, Decriminalization & Legalization
• Marijuana & Medical Marijuana
• Sentencing Reform

Programming for the 2009 Reform Conference has not been secured; we are encouraging anyone interested in submitting a proposal for a session to view the Call for Proposals page for submission guidelines.
