Mayor of Amsterdam Femke Halsema is the host of the conference: “Together with many cities in the world, the beautiful city of Amsterdam struggles with the effects of drug-related crime. The objective of this international conference is to explore how -and not if- further regulation of the drug market can provide a solution.” 

Together with an international group of fellow mayors, scientists, user groups, practitioners and policy makers, the mayor wants to explore the path toward a more rational drug policy. During this one-day conference, you can partake in different side sessions and experience a ‘pop-up XTC shop’.

If you’re interested in visiting the conference, the website provides more information about the program.

The available seats are limited, those who want to visit the conference are kindly asked to send an email to conferenceondrugs@amsterdam.nl, with their name, function and a brief description of why they are interested.
