In conjunction with numerous cities globally, the city of Amsterdam is contending with the repercussions of drug-related crime. The international conference 'Dealing with Drugs – Cities and the quest for regulation' is being organised by the mayor of Amsterdam to address this challenge. The primary goal of the conference is to delve into the potential solutions that further regulation of the drug market can offer, focusing not on whether but on how it can be implemented. The aim is to identify practical steps towards a more realistic approach to drug policy. Scheduled for January 26, 2024, the conference will be hosted at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Invitations for this event are personal and there are limited seats available.
