National Student Drug and Alcohol Conference 2026
Calling all students' unions, universities, colleges and community organisations!
Returning for its 6th year, our annual Student, Drug and Alcohol Conference brings a variety of individuals together to explore how to create healthy, inclusive cultures around drugs and alcohol in student communities This conference offers a unique opportunity to learn from sector experts, share knowledge and best practice, develop strategies, and network with peers dedicated to student wellbeing and addressing substance use.
Our aim is for everyone who attends to leave the day with clear next steps, with the knowledge and confidence to start to deliver change on their campus. We’re thrilled to host this year’s event in person at The Union, Manchester Metropolitan University. The conference will run from 09:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with tickets including refreshments, lunch, and a digital resource pack to support ongoing learning after the event.
