SAVE-THE-DATE
The National Science Network on Drug Abuse’s Twenty Sixth Annual International Conference will take place Thursday, October 15th through Saturday, October 17th, 2026, hosted by Arizona State University in Phoenix, AZ.
The conference is distinguished by its transdisciplinary scope, serving as a forum for scientific exchange from basic science through policy‑relevant research, with attention to shared sociocultural factors and comorbidities that contribute to health disparities across populations. It also serves as a key venue for mentoring, networking, and professional development, particularly for trainees, graduate students, and early‑career investigators, supporting recruitment, retention, and advancement of emerging scientists and promoting the next generation of leaders in substance use disorder research. We look forward to seeing you in Phoenix.
This year’s conference hotel is the Tempe Mission Palms, located at 60 E 5th Street, Tempe, AZ 85281.
