2026 Alcohol Policy Conference

Join us for the 2026 Alcohol Policy Conference (AP2026) September 29 – October 1, 2026 · Washington, DC

Join us in Washington, DC, for AP2026, the 21st installment of the Alcohol Policy Conference series. This milestone event brings together leaders and change-makers committed to advancing evidence-based alcohol policies at the local, regional, national, and global levels.

Since its inception in 1981, the Alcohol Policy Conference has served as a critical forum for researchers, community practitioners, public officials, faith leaders, and grassroots activists-primarily from across North America. AP26 continues this legacy, with a strong focus on moving from evidence to action in alcohol policy research, development, implementation, enforcement, and evaluation.

PLEASE NOTE: The Advocates Institute (Sept. 28 the & 29th) requires an additional registration fee ($145).
