What's next starts here
A new chapter in a four-decade conference series.
Join us in 2027 as we bring together two longstanding, previously separate conference series first held in 1988 (Vancouver) and most recently in 2026 (Seattle): the research conference and the adolescents & adults conference. This reimagined gathering builds on 40 years of research, practice, policy, and living experience to advance knowledge and improve outcomes for people with FASD and their communities.
