Dearest Johnny’s Ambassadors,
I am thrilled to announce a back-to-back learning opportunity with CADCA (formerly known as Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America) at the Gaylord Texan in July 2027! CADCA’s Mid-Year Training Institute will take place July 11-14, followed by the Johnny’s Ambassadors Preventing Youth Cannabis Use Conference on July 15-16. This schedule gives you the opportunity to attend both conferences in one trip. We are very excited about this great synergy between our organizations!
CADCA offers specialized education, national networking, and hands-on tools to prevent youth substance use and build healthier communities. We have been members of CADCA for six years and have exhibited at every conference, so we know their offerings are valuable and high quality.
We joined forces because we believe our membership of prevention professionals, educators, healthcare professionals, counselors, parents, and nonprofits will benefit greatly from attending their conference before ours! You’ll have access to workshops covering substance-use prevention, evaluation, and evolving drug trends. All CADCA cannabis education will be concentrated into the last half day. Then you can build on that learning at the Johnny’s Ambassadors conference. There will even be a discount for Johnny’s Ambassadors members if you attend Mid-Year (more details to follow soon).
This anchor-event partnership offers substantial travel savings since you only pay for one round-trip flight! We hope you’ll attend CADCA’s conference and stay one more night to attend the Johnny’s Ambassadors conference. If you aren’t attending CADCA’s Mid-Year Training Institute, you can still register for the Johnny’s Ambassadors standalone conference. Our livestream option will still be available for those who wish to attend virtually.
We hope you’ll get the most out of your trip and give CADCA’s conference a try! Then stay to receive the specialized cannabis prevention content you’ve come to expect from our world-renowned Johnny’s Ambassadors expert faculty.
In addition to the summer conference, Johnny’s Ambassadors will hold two NEW winter and fall one-day virtual conferences with 6.25 hours of CE. Mark your calendars for the complete 2027 lineup:

Two-Day Preventing Youth Cannabis Use Hybrid Conference - Friday, October 15, 2027:
