This annual two-day event aims to bring diverse participants together to understand the perspectives of people who use drugs, understand the importance of equitable access to care and services, build partnerships and connect people within their communities, and brainstorm new and fresh ideas.
This year’s event was hybrid, with virtual presentations/panels in the morning and regional in-person gatherings held around Washington State in the afternoon for networking and discussion.
