*** Due to the recent concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus and subsequent travel restrictions, we have decide to move the DBH 4th Annual MAT Conference from April 28th and 29th to September 3rd and 4th. The conference location at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Anchorage remains the same. We apologize for any inconvenience, but would rather that conference participants are healthy and safe. If you are unable to attend September 3rd and 4th, your conference fee will be fully refunded. If you are able to attend the conference in September, you do not need to do anything. Your registration will be honored. Be well and we hope to see you in September! ***
