Invitation: Wisconsin Alcohol Policy Seminar Opportunities to Present

 

Mark October 7-8, 2024, on your calendar! The Wisconsin Alcohol Policy Seminar (2024 APS) will be in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Our theme is, Building strong partnerships through policy and practice.


The 2024 APS will provide training to support and facilitate change in communities as they deal with excessive alcohol consumption. In Wisconsin, excessive alcohol use has become one of the most persistent public health challenges.


The 2024 APS will also serve as a hub for statewide networking with community members and a chance to learn from various sectors in the field including local, regional, and national experts.


We invite you to consider submitting an abstract for a workshop at the 2024 APS. Please share your work. We encourage, but don’t require, including the importance of inclusivity and culture in prevention.


Ideas for workshops include:

- Collaborating with partners to impact the alcohol licensing process

- Law enforcement and coalitions implementing effective Alcohol Age Compliance Checks

- What you’ve learned from mapping alcohol outlet density and how you are addressing it in your community

- Effective initiatives like Place of Last Drink (POLD) - Alcohol prevention work with communities that have experienced systemic, structural, or institutional racism

- Health communications

- Alcohol policy research

- Latest Wisconsin research on health harms, injury or disease due to excessive alcohol use

- Implementing SBIRT in school, health care or court system


Workshops can be done by a single presenter or multiple presenters. We encourage only one or two presenters but will allow no more than 4 presenters per workshop. The workshop should be interactive and provide people with tools to take back to their communities.

The workshops are 55 minutes long.


The form is due back by May 24, 2024 --- don’t delay!
