Coalitions Ideas Fair

What Is The Coalitions Ideas Fair?

The Coalitions Ideas Fair is a poster presentation session during CADCA’s 37th Annual National Leadership Forum, in which emerging prevention research and cutting-edge strategies and implementation in coalition work are displayed.

CADCA is actively seeking poster submissions from coalitions (youth, adult, or combined presenters) and students and researchers that feature innovative approaches to coalition work, recent successful outcomes in addressing substance use issues, up-to-date interventions and strategies (particularly environmental-level strategies) and recent original substance use research. Submissions on community assessments and community-based participatory research will also be considered.

This year’s theme, Vision in Action, is about turning bold ideas into meaningful outcomes through leadership, partnership, and evidence-informed strategies.

 
Submission Deadline: October 9, 2026
