Harm reduction, health care and drug policy reform have entered a dynamic and critical phase. The prescription opioid and heroin overdose epidemic has captured national attention, with renewed focus on transmission of HIV and viral hepatitis among people who use drugs. These trends are reshaping the policy and public health landscapes, making harm reduction more urgent and relevant than ever before. 

Join us for The 2020 National Harm Reduction Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico for the only national multidisciplinary conference focused entirely on improving the health and valuing the voices of people who use drugs. Join over 2,000 people from around the country and abroad who will convene to learn directly from people who use drugs as well as harm reduction and policy experts about innovative harm reduction strategies and progressive drug policy.
