International Harm Reduction Association Conference

These conferences have been held around the world for two decades and, for 2010, we are returning to the city which hosted the first conference in 1990 – Liverpool, England. Since 1990, the annual international harm reduction conferences have grown in importance and become the main meeting point for all those interested in harm reduction around the world. Each year, the conference takes place in a different part of the world and covers the latest topics and debates from the field. Over five days, this conference will be the main meeting point for all those interested in harm reduction, and an invaluable platform for advocacy, debate, and discussion. For nearly two decades, these events have been the key forum for the dissemination of harm reduction ideas and practice, and have helped to put harm reduction on the map. As has been the case in the previous 20 events, the 2010 conference will include high profile keynote speeches, plenary sessions, major sessions, symposia, workshops, training events, a film festival, poster exhibitions, exhibition areas, satellite meetings, social and networking events, and the annual IHRA award presentations.
