The fentanyl crisis is the most urgent drug threat our nation has ever faced. 

In December 2025 DEA publicly launched its Fentanyl Free America campaign. www.dea.gov/fentanylfree

This July, the Drug Enforcement Administration will convene leaders from across the country for the inaugural Fentanyl Free America Summit, held in conjunction with the 2026 CADCA Mid-Year Conference in Orlando. The Summit will feature sessions on each of the three pillars of the Fentanyl Free America campaign: Protect, Prevent, and Support.

Thousands of CADCA anti-drug coalition leaders, along with hundreds of DEA’s partners from across law enforcement, public health, education, business, faith-based organizations, government, and families, will gather with one purpose:

To protect, prevent, and support the public as we work together to build a Fentanyl Free America.

The Summit will highlight national strategies to disrupt illicit fentanyl supply chains, strengthen drug use prevention efforts, support families, and unify communities around a whole-of-nation response.

Leading up to the Summit, communities across the country will participate in a coordinated "Walk Away from Fentanyl" event on Saturday, July 11, 2026, demonstrating our shared commitment to saving lives.

This is more than a conference.
It is a national movement.
