Scottish Drugs Forum’s annual #StopTheDeaths conference returns in 2026 with a two-day event dedicated to reducing drug-related deaths and harms.

This year’s conference takes place on Wednesday, 26 and Thursday, 27 August at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow.

Timed to mark International Overdose Awareness Day, the conference will bring together key stakeholders, including people with living and lived experience, policymakers, service providers and health and social care professionals. Together, we will explore democratic policy development, service improvement and harm reduction practices.

We are pleased to be able to offer a limited number of free tickets for our conference. These are specifically for people with living and lived experience of substance use.
