The International Harm Reduction Association, the Conference Consortium and the ENDIPP would like to invite you to attend the 18th International Conference on the Reduction of Drug Related Harm.

The conference will take place from Sunday 13th to Thursday 17th May, 2007. The venue for the conference is the GROMADA Conference Centre (www.gromada.pl) located in the green quarter of South Warsaw, near to the city’s Fredric Chopin Okecie Airport.

This annual international conference is a key forum for the dissemination of harm reduction ideas and practice, attended by over 1000 people from over 60 countries. It brings together frontline workers, researchers, policy makers, members of governments, officials from law enforcement, the judiciary, criminal justice workers, UN officials, members of national and international NGO’s, together with members of drug user organisations.
Recent previous conferences were held in Belfast 2005, Melbourne 2004, Chiang Mai 2003, Delhi 2002 and in Vancouver in May 2006

The 18th conference in Warsaw provides a one-off opportunity to recognise achievements and look to the future, reflected in the conference strapline – Harm Reduction – Coming of Age. This will increase the profile of this conference, and a number of events to celebrate this ‘birthday’ are planned.

This is the official conference of the International Harm Reduction Association. It is the main meeting point for all those interested in harm reduction. Those attending are drawn to the conference through recognition of its reputation as a “must attend” event providing a platform for both debate and discussion, as well as a forum for the dissemination of new and evolving good practice in addressing drug use and associated harm.

A scholarship programme brings many people from developing and transitional counties and the organisers of each event go to great lengths to ensure the participation of affected populations and communities.

The conference comprises a wide range of events including plenary sessions, major sessions, symposia, workshops, training events, a film festival, poster exhibitions, exhibition area, satellite sessions and an events area. It has high profile opening and closing ceremonies, an annual awards event, and a conference party.
