The Society for Prevention Research’s 27th annual meeting will be held May 28 – May 31, 2018, in San Francisco.

The theme for the event is  “Prevention Science in a Big Data World”. It is hoped that the event will open up a discussion about ways in which the prevention science community can make use of data and innovative technologies to develop new opportunities in prevention research. 

The annual event brings together over 800 U.S. and international researchers, policy-makers and practitioners working in the field of prevention research. 

The meeting is a focal point for new ideas, methods, and results from prevention research, and allows for communication concerning the delivery of evidence-based preventive interventions.
