Global Addiction Therapeutics Innovation Day (GATID) 2026

September 30th , 2026

The Global Addiction Therapeutics Innovation Day (GATID) is a dedicated pre-conference event of the ISAM 2026 Congress, designed to spotlight cutting-edge innovations in addiction medicine.

GATID brings together researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, and innovators from around the world to present novel therapeutics, digital solutions, neuroscience advances, and integrated care models that are shaping the future of addiction treatment.

A highlight of the event is the ISAM Innovation Award, which recognizes outstanding, high-impact innovations with the potential to transform prevention, treatment, and recovery in addiction medicine (http://isamweb.org/innovation-award/). Selected finalists present their work during GATID, and the winner is announced at the conclusion of the event.

Join us to explore transformative ideas, foster global collaboration, and accelerate progress in addiction therapeutics.
