Each year, AIVL hosts a three-day summit. The first day is for members and invited guests, and on the second and third we open our doors to all partners, allies, and anyone interested in being part of the conversation. Tickets include a full two days of presentations and workshops, plus entry to the AIVL Awards Ceremony and Celebration. Tickets are free for all people who use drugs.
This year’s summit will focus on the the health and human rights of all people who use drugs, and will be held in Coolangatta, QLD, the home of our member organisations, Quihn y QuIVAA.
The full program and schedule will be announced soon, and nominations for the AIVL Awards are open now.
