AADANT Conference
Each year, AADANT brings the NT AOD sector together for our flagship conference, connecting practitioners, researchers, policymakers, peer workers and community leaders from across the Territory.
The conference is a space to share innovation, strengthen collaboration and discuss real world solutions grounded in the needs of NT communities, from urban centres to regional and remote areas.
With a focus on access, equity and evidence, every conference brings together diverse voices and experiences, reflecting AADANT's belief that meaningful AOD outcomes require culturally responsive, community informed and system aware approaches.
