Scottish Drugs Forum’s annual #StopTheDeaths conference returns in 2026 with a two-day event dedicated to reducing drug-related deaths and harms. This year’s conference takes place on Wednesday, 26 and Thursday, 27 August at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow. 

Timed to mark International Overdose Awareness Day, the conference will bring together key stakeholders, including people with living and lived experience, policymakers, service providers, and health and social care professionals. Together, we will explore democratic policy development, service  improvement and harm reduction practices. 

Each year, #StopTheDeaths connects people across sectors to turn insight into action. 

The conference has become a space where ideas are tested, partnerships are built and progress is challenged, helping to strengthen Scotland’s response to drug-related deaths. 

The theme and speakers for our 2026 conference will be announced in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can watch DrugReporter’s documentary on last year’s event.
