Substance Use Disorder Conference

The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) hosts an annual statewide Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Integrated Care Conference. This event was held in 2023 and the same designers were used into 2024 as well, at the Hyatt Regency in Long Beach, California, whose attendees ranges to about 900. This year's conference was another opportunity for the behavioral health, treatment, and recovery workforce to network and learn about important and emerging issues and trends, and program outcomes in SUD prevention. The concept utilized DHCS' new logo and overall branding that focuses on the California Poppies. As the lead designer for the branding of this event, my job was to develop the deliverables such as the website, web-related graphics, program guide, kiosk background, name tents, name badges, various signage, lanyards, and other custom items. I have been the lead designer for this event from 2021-2024. You can also find examples of the designs from the 2022 event below.
