"A Clinical Vision: Innovation, Access, and Hope”
We are excited to announce that VSIAS 2026 will once again take place at The Williamsburg Lodge, offering a refreshed conference experience in a new setting while continuing the event’s longstanding legacy of excellence in training, collaboration, and professional development.
The Virginia Summer Institute for Addiction Studies (VSIAS) is the Commonwealth’s premier annual event for clinical addiction professionals. Over three impactful days, the conference brings together experts, practitioners, and emerging leaders to explore evidence-based practices, innovative models of care, and evolving approaches to recovery support.
Participants gain access to nationally recognized presenters, high-quality continuing education, and meaningful opportunities to connect with colleagues from across Virginia and beyond. In its new location, VSIAS remains a cornerstone event for professionals working on the front lines of addiction treatment and recovery.
