Overview of the SPR Annual Meeting
Mark your calendars to attend the most important prevention science conference-the Society for Prevention Research (SPR) 34th Annual Meeting held in person May 26-29, 2026, in Washington, DC. This year’s theme is “New Horizons in Prevention Science: Multilevel Interventions for Systemic Challenges.”
The Society for Prevention Research envisions a wellness-oriented society in which evidenced-based programs and policies are continuously applied to improve the health and well-being of its citizens, fostering positive human development and citizens who lead productive lives in caring relationships with others.
The SPR Annual Meeting provides a unique opportunity to advance this vision by providing a centrally integrated forum for the exchange of new concepts, methods, and results from prevention research and related public health fields; and by providing a forum for the communication between scientists, public policy leaders and practitioners concerning the implementation of evidence-based preventive interventions in all areas of public health.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the spirit of healing, we would like to acknowledge and honor the lands of the Nacotchtank (Anacostan) Peoples in what is now the Washington DC area; also the lands in what is now Northern Virginia in the territory of the Doeg (Tauxenent) People who had their main village site just north of Aquia Creek, and other sites of Miompse at Mason Neck, Virginia, Quantico Creek (Pamacocack), Powell’s Creek (Yosococomico), and Neabsco Creek (Nipsco). We also acknowledge and honor other Algonquian Peoples of this territory- the Kinwaw Pasketikweya or Piscataway Conoy on the Maryland side.
