SMART Recovery's 30th Anniversary Conference

 Sheraton Salt Lake City Hotel | Salt Lake City, UT | April 5 & 6, 2024 

SMART Recovery has hosted many conferences over the years that have attracted a variety of volunteers, professionals, and participants committed to self-empowered recovery. As we celebrate our 30th year doing this work together, this conference will be focused on how we can take further action to make SMART's self-empowering approach accessible and available to all. Join us for two full days of networking, thought-provoking presentations, and more as we create new energy to support everyone pursuing a balanced life beyond an addictive behavior.
