2012 International Harm Reduction Conference cancelled
Drug Abuse
Dear IHRA Members, Harm Reduction International regrets to announce that the 2012 International Harm Reduction Conference set to take place in Adelaide has been cancelled. Since 2007, our annual conference has been organised in partnership with the Conference Consortium (). Last week, the Consortium informed us that they are unable to carry out their contractual agreements pertaining to the staging of the Adelaide conference, and have cancelled all related contracts associated with that event. In this context, Harm Reduction International has concluded that the only responsible option available to us is to cancel the 2012 conference. While the reasons for the cancellation are beyond our control, and beyond those of our Australian partners Anex and AIVL, Harm Reduction International regrets any inconvenience caused to our partners and delegates. We would like to thank Anex and AIVL for their support and the work they have invested in the conference. Harm Reduction International will be planning its next conference to take place in 2013.
