Fentanyl Free America Summit
CADCA is proud to support the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) inaugural Fentanyl Free America Summit during the 2026 CADCA Mid-Year Training Institute, July 12–16 in Orlando, Florida.
Bringing together coalition leaders, prevention professionals, law enforcement, treatment and recovery experts, educators, families, and community partners from across the country, the Summit will focus on a unified response to the nation’s fentanyl crisis through the Fentanyl Free America pillars:
- Protect – advancing enforcement and public safety efforts to disrupt the supply of illicit fentanyl
- Prevent – strengthening community-based prevention, education, and youth-focused strategies
- Support – elevating treatment, recovery, and family support initiatives for those impacted by substance misuse and overdose loss
In addition to featured sessions and cross-sector collaboration, attendees can participate in wellness and community events throughout the week, including a community walk, a yoga session, and a prayer breakfast.
The Summit will provide practical strategies, partnership opportunities, and actionable resources to help communities build safer, healthier, and drug-free futures. Attendees will gain access to both the Fentanyl Free America Summit and the full 2026 CADCA Mid-Year Training Institute experience with one registration.
