The scientific program for CPDD 2027 starts with the work you bring to it.
Submissions are now open for the CPDD 89th Annual Scientific Meeting, June 26–30, 2027, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Researchers across the addiction science continuum are invited to contribute their work and help build a program grounded in rigorous inquiry, scientific exchange, and the questions shaping the field.
For nearly nine decades, the CPDD Annual Scientific Meeting has created a forum where evidence is shared, examined, and placed within a broader scientific context. Each submission adds another perspective to that process—giving researchers an opportunity not simply to present their work, but to make it part of the collective scientific dialogue that deepens our understanding of substance use disorders.
Bring Your Work Into the Conversation
CPDD welcomes submissions representing the breadth of SUD and addiction science and the many approaches contributing to its advancement. From foundational and translational research to clinical investigation, epidemiology, prevention, treatment, and population science, the Annual Meeting provides an opportunity to consider individual findings alongside work from across the research continuum.
For trainees and early-career investigators, submission also offers an important opportunity to bring emerging work into a broader scientific forum. Your research does not have to represent the final word on a question to make a meaningful contribution. Science advances as evidence is shared, challenged, refined, and built upon. If your work can inform the conversation, it belongs in the conversation.
RWOA and LEE: Integrated Into the Scientific Program
After a hugely successful kickoff year in 2026, the Real World Of Addiction and Lived/Living Experience tracks will be integrated into the broader Annual Scientific Meeting program, creating greater opportunity for this work to be considered alongside the full spectrum of addiction science represented at CPDD.
Rather than standing apart from the larger scientific program, these areas of inquiry will contribute to the same exchange of evidence, perspectives, and expertise that defines the Annual Meeting. Additional details about RWOA and LLE submissions will be shared as planning continues.
NeuroBurst Returns for 2027
Offering another way to bring neuroscience research and ideas into the Annual Meeting, NeuroBurst will once again create space within the program for focused exploration of neuroscience relevant to addiction and substance use disorders.
Help Shape CPDD 2027
The strength of the Annual Scientific Meeting is cumulative. It comes from researchers willing to share what they are studying, what they are learning, and the questions they believe deserve further examination. Now is the time to add your work to that exchange. Submit your work for the CPDD 89th Annual Scientific Meeting and be part of where addiction science advances.
