HOTEL BOOKING

The Alex Hotel has kindly offered all IFDAT guests a discount when booking at any one of their 4 hotels (Part of the O’Callaghan Collection).

The IFDAT 2026 host hotel is “The Alex Hotel”. The second hotel is at the “Davenport Hotel” and is 1 minute walking distance from the IFDAT2026 venue. The third hotel is the “Mont Hotel” and is also 1 minute walking distance from the IFDAT2026 venue. The fourth is the “Green Hotel” and is approx. 15-20 minutes walking distance from the IFDAT2026 venue. Please click the links below and use the discount code SPECIAL10BB which will allow guests to book directly, and avail of a 10% off BAR discount at the time of booking! Simply enter the code on their website at checkout or contact one of their friendly reservations team. This code can be used across the full hotel collection – The Alex, The Davenport, the Mont & The Green, so if rooms are limited across one hotel do use the code to check other properties.

Dublin comes alive in September and therefore room availability is limited and allocated on a “first come – first served” basis. If all rooms have been allocated, or for those wishing to find alternative accommodation, IFDAT have chosen a centrally located venue which is in easy reach of many hotels and accommodation types to suit all tastes and budgets. The venue postcode (zip code) is D02 H678 which you can use when looking at alternatives.

PLEASE NOTE: The booking(s) is a contract between you and the hotel(s) directly and IFDAT cannot take any responsibility for any part of that contract. Please ensure you therefore read and understand the hotel’s Terms and Conditions of booking – including cancellation policy.

Thank you for visiting the IFDAT website. 

We have had lots of emails and messages from so many people across the globe (including past Sponsors, Speakers and Delegates) asking us when the next IFDAT Conference will be and where.

Following the great success of the IFDAT 2024 Conference, the IFDAT community are all looking forward to the opportunity to once again meet, share ideas and discussion about the international efforts toward workplace substance abuse prevention. Education, knowledge sharing, studies data, new technology / innovation, best practice, country guidelines etc. The IFDAT 2026 Dublin conference program and speaker list, as usual, will not disappoint! Please bear with us as we update the website to reflect the IFDAT2026 event. We are busy in the background working hard to get everything ready. We will have our usual high quality program aimed at bringing together discussion, innovation and best practice from the Drugs and Alcohol testing industry leaders and experts from across the globe. The program is already shaping up to be a fantastic and diverse line up of relevant experts and topics.

IFDAT are very aware that costs around the globe are increasing due to the numerous events affecting the global economy. So, with that in mind, we have decided to freeze our pricing structures to be the same as 2024.  We hope this will go a little way to help our community – both Delegates and Sponsors.

Delegate packages: (including “early bird” discounts available for a limited time only – so be quick to secure savings!)

As usual, we are pleased to offer discounted pricing to our IFDAT community that are current members of our partner organisations ( https://ifdat.com/partners/ ).

  • Non-Member conference attendee package – $470.00 (Early Bird discount price of $400.00 available until 30th June 2026)
  • Partner-Member conference attendee package – $395.00 (Early Bird discount price of $325.00 available until 30th June 2026)

As we update the website, you will again be able to book and pay for DELEGATE packages (including the Celebration Dinner & Networking Event – always sold out every year) directly via our secure booking/payment links. In the meantime – please email info@ifdat.com to secure your place. All places are secured on a “first come – first served” basis – so please book early to avoid disappointment!

Sponsorship packages are now available to book (please note: some spaces have already been secured).

Details of what each package includes will be the same as IFDAT2024 and will be published on our website.

  • PLATINUM – $9975.00
  • GOLD – $4900.00
  • SILVER – $2500.00

As we update the website, you will again be able to book and pay for SPONSORSHIP packages directly via our secure booking/payment links. In the meantime – please email info@ifdat.com to secure your place. Again, these will be secured and allocated on a “first come – first served” basis. So please secure your spot NOW to ensure you don’t miss out on the opportunities to support and showcase your business/organisation at the leading International Conference for those interested in Drugs & Alcohol Policy, Training, Testing and Support Industry across the globe.

We are just awaiting final details from the venue and their partner hotels to be able to release “discount code links” for accommodation (booked on a “first come first served basis”). However, rest assured that we have chosen the location of the conference to allow for alternative accommodation within easy distance to suit all budgets.

Whether you have attended and IFDAT conference before, or if this will be your first time, you will be ensured of a warm welcome by the whole community. IFDAT2026 will allow you to attend invaluable educational presentations and discussions, network with the industry’s finest, make new friends and catch up with old ones!
