2025 SAM Good Drug Policy Summit

The 2025 SAM Good Drug Policy Summit will consist of two days’ worth of drug policy presentations beginning in the afternoon on Thursday, February 6 (2:30pm-5:30pm) and concluding on Friday, February 7 (8:00am-12:00pm). Lunch will be on your own for all attendees of the SAM Summit.

We will bring together powerful voices in drug policy from across the field, such as prevention, treatment, recovery, and law enforcement experts to amplify our collective work and scale up drug policy solutions by educating decision-makers and the public about ways to harness science to prevent drug use, treat addiction, and forge pathways to recovery.

This is the perfect option for groups associated with non-profit organizations, corporations, healthcare, clinicians, social workers, counselors, schools, law enforcement and local community groups around the country who want to educate their communities and employees on all issues surrounding drugs and drug policy. We go beyond slogans and clichés to give you a data-driven and tested approach to understanding these critical issues.
