Conference Consortium - Background PDF Print E-mail
The Conference Consortium was established in 2005 by a group of non-governmental organisations, trades unions, professional associations and national bodies.
This unique collaboration, operating as a social enterprise, is dedicated to organising conferences and other events promoting the adoption of the most appropriate, relevant and effective policies and practice, in response to the problems presented by drug and alcohol use. To this end it provides a forum for:
  • discussion and debate on policy relating to the overlapping fields of drugs, alcohol and criminal justice; and
  • dissemination of information on research and good practice.
The Conference Consortium does not seek to support or promote any single position or stance with respect to any issue, but rather seeks to:
  • foster thinking and new ideas;
  • promote honest dialogue with respect to differing views;
  • encourage transparency in pursuit of its aims.
