GENERAL INFORMATION

This advanced-level conference/meeting (previously held in Vancouver) continues to bring together global experts from multiple disciplines to share international research. From pure science, to prevention, diagnosis, and intervention across the lifespan, the conference will address the implications of this research and promote scientific/community collaboration. It provides an opportunity to enhance understanding of the relationships between knowledge and research and critical actions related to FASD. First held in 1987, the conference brings together people passionate about this work in a stimulating environment where they can learn and forge new partnerships.

For individuals with FASD: The 2025 conference is about academic research. While you are welcome to attend as a regular conference delegate, please note that unlike the 2024 conference, there is no adult stream at this conference.

  • explore different models of advanced practice from and across disciplines
