Coalitions Connect 2007

AADAC was pleased to host the third annual Alberta Drug Strategy Coalitions Connect 2007 networking event on October 17th and 18th in Edmonton. A total of 160 people representing over 50 different drug coalitions attended the conference this year. An important goal of the event was to provide an opportunity for community drug coalitions to network and share their experiences, challenges and new ideas. And that was exactly what took place through the Open Space discussion groups, the minicommercials (sponsored by four different coalitions), the inspiring keynote and endnote presentations and the eight different breakout sessions offered.

For those who attended the conference, as well as the community groups that were unable to, we've captured some of the highlights of the discussions and sessions on this webpage. Also posted are many of the session presentations that were heard. Simply follow the links on the agenda below and you'll get a great idea of what was covered and where to go for more information.
