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.

Direct words from past attendees

“I always find the mix of communities (research, clinical, advocate) to be so unique and inspirational. It really reinvigorates me to continue to do my work.”

— Clinician, 2026 attendee

“I have a 2-page list of to-do items: contacting professionals (...), rewriting educational materials (...), arranging new educational workshops (...), sharing new tools directly with families and individuals with FASD.”

— Program / Support Service Provider, 2026

“I particularly appreciated the alternating schedule of high-quality scientific talks with speakers who were very well chosen, relevant, and enthusiastic, and the testimonials from our people with FASD, which were very fair and in line with the scientific discussions. This helps strengthen the bonds across the entire community. Bravo for that, and for bringing us together.”

— Physician/Nurse Practitioner, 2026
