This year's theme is Building Communities of Empowerment. Building on last year's conference, we intend to highlight how SMART can be at the forefront of building communities of empowerment at the local level. We have an unprecedented opportunity to make the promise of multiple pathways a reality today in more and more diverse communities. 

All submissions will be considered. However, we will prioritize presentations that relate to:   

• Successful partnerships that have helped bring SMART to broader communities 
• Strategies and techniques that strengthen SMART Recovery USA's values: Empowerment | Equity | Inclusion | Integrity | Accountability
• Adopting a harm reduction mindset to better include participants regardless of their chosen goal
• Growing and strengthening SMART’s Family & Friends program 

Proposals are due on October  31, 2024.  Notification of decisions will occur by December 14, 2024.
