Welcome to Manchester

Contemporary Drug Problems Conference 2025

Welcome to Manchester, delegates of the Contemporary Drug Problems Conference 2025.

We are delighted to host the Contemporary Drug Problems Conference in our dynamic city. Manchester is renowned for its warm hospitality, vibrant atmosphere, and unique blend of history, innovation, and culture, making it the perfect backdrop for your exploration of drug policy in the 21st century.

Manchester has always been a city of pioneers, a place where groundbreaking ideas take shape and history is made. This is where the world's first industrial revolution ignited, transforming manufacturing and engineering forever. It's where scientific minds split the atom, unlocking the secrets of the universe. Manchester gave birth to the first computer with a stored program, laying the foundation for the digital age. And it was here that courageous voices championed the fight for suffrage, paving the way for equality. This spirit of innovation and social progress is woven into the very fabric of Manchester, and it continues to thrive today in our vibrant cultural scene, cutting-edge industries, and passionate communities..

Beyond our industrial heritage, Manchester boasts a rich tapestry of attractions. From legendary sports teams and iconic music venues to world-class museums and a thriving arts scene, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

We encourage you to immerse yourselves in the city's unique spirit, explore its hidden gems, and connect with fellow delegates. We are confident that your time in Manchester will be both productive and memorable, fostering insightful discussions and collaborations that will shape the future.
