Events
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, we offer expanded programming for community members, scientists and trainees. This year’s annual symposium brings exciting opportunities provided through the MBI’s commitment to support emerging UF-related conferences. These funds allow us to expand programming and more effectively engage our colleagues in addiction science from across the state.

**Pre-Symposium Community Networking Event: For the first time, we are holding a Networking Event on the evening of April 16th at the Matheson History Museum (513 East University Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32601). The event brings together our statewide collaborators, trainees, and community advocates for food and informal conversation. The Matheson History Museum is a wonderful venue with bits of history and free parking. Our 10th anniversary is a perfect time to celebrate the power of interfacing community needs and scientific effort. More information can be found here.
