The keynote will be held from 8:30-10:00 am and is open to anyone interested in learning about the challenges faced by law enforcement, health officials, and the public in combating the problem of synthetic drugs.
The Symposium features a wealth of information for parents, teenagers, caregivers, social workers, probation officers, nurses, educators, and the general public.
