17th National Conference on
Drug and Chemical Diversion
Charleston, South Carolina,
June 17-19, 2008
The Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Office of Diversion
Control is planning the 17th National Conference on Drug and Chemical
Diversion in Charleston, South Carolina, June 17-19, 2008. The purpose
of this national conference is to bring together state officials who
represent all areas of pharmaceutical diversion control to meet DEA
counterparts. Participants will also have an opportunity to share their
knowledge and experiences as well as discuss current trends, regulatory
control, and enforcement strategies.
The meeting is by invitation only and is intended for
individuals from state agencies who are responsible for policy-level
regulatory drug control and operational law enforcement personnel who
focus on the diversion of licitly manufactured controlled substances.
The 2008 conference will address the growing trend of prescription
drug abuse and strategies being taken by federal and state authorities
to stem illegal activities without adversely impacting legitimate
healthcare systems. Agenda items will include issues on
Pseudoephedrine Tracking Programs, Buprenorphine Abuse, Physician
Education Programs, and DEA legal, regulatory, and scheduling updates.
If you did not receive an invitation and would like to attend this
conference as a representative of a state regulatory or law enforcement
agency, please contact Conference Coordinator Mandy Lord at mandy.h.lord@usdoj.gov
or (202) 307-7297.
