The wait is over. The AADANT Conference 2026 Program has officially been released.

This year’s conference, On Country, In Community: The Way We Work, brings together voices from across the Northern Territory and beyond to explore how we strengthen practice, workforce capability and community-led responses in the AOD sector.

Across two days, the program features:

• Inspiring keynote speakers sharing insights across policy, practice and lived experience
• Panel discussions exploring the future of the NT AOD sector
• The LEARNT Session examining alcohol policy reform and its real-world impacts
• Workforce-focused sessions, including Dual Diagnosis training and sector capability building
• Concurrent workshops with We Al-li and The Glen Group, offering practical, hands-on learning
• Opportunities to connect, reflect and build relationships with colleagues across urban, regional and remote communities

This program reflects the strength of our sector, grounded in culture, community, evidence and lived experience.
