The West Coast Symposium began in 2010 with 400 attendees and 60 exhibitors at the iconic La Quinta Resort and Spa. Over the years, we’ve grown significantly, now welcoming nearly 1,600 attendees and showcasing 120+ exhibits annually. 

The West Coast Symposium offers a dynamic and interactive learning experience, designed to equip addiction treatment and behavioral health professionals with the skills they need to apply acquired knowledge directly into treatment delivery. Our diverse audience includes clinicians, counselors, therapists, psychologists, physicians, psychiatrists, senior executives in treatment programs, and marketing and business development professionals. 

With a focus on practical application, our educational offerings ensure that participants leave with actionable insights they can implement to enhance treatment and improve outcomes.
