Description

The UVU College of Humanities and Social Sciences, in conjunction with its sponsors and supporters, is pleased to announce the 2023 UVU Conference on Addiction. The single day conference is planned for Friday, March 3, 2023. The conference will be held this year as a ‘hybrid’ event. This means that participants and presenters can choose to join us in person face-to-face or via our virtual portal (on-line).

Although the full program is still being developed, the conference will feature two keynote addresses and an afternoon plenary session.  

In addition, a broad selection of concurrent break-out sessions on varied topics of interest to the addiction community will be presented. Participants will enjoy multiple sessions meeting the interests/needs of those seeking professional information on substance abuse disorders (as well as compulsive behavioral addiction), educational perspectives regarding prevention and treatment, and information for families and loved ones experiencing the challenges of addiction. The concurrent session program is expected to include presentations intended to help participants investigate various aspects of addiction while meeting the interests/needs of students, professionals, families and service providers alike.

We will also welcome live virtual exhibit booths sponsored by various service and support vendors from throughout the state, as well as graduate student poster presentations on current research and findings.
