The 2025 CSAM-SMCA Annual Scientific Conference brings Canada’s addiction medicine community together to share new research, ideas and guidance on best practice.

We want the 2025 conference to be about challenging beliefs. To be clear, we want attendees to challenge their own beliefs, to listen with an open mind, and to be curious. Science is about testing hypotheses to find truth and it can get messy, especially if we hold too firmly to what we believe to be true. 

We firmly believe that curiosity is the way to heal division in our community, and we hope that CSAM-SMCA’s scientific conference will promote a spirit of inquiry that will help us make progress toward shared goals.
