The International Forum for Drug and Alcohol Testing (IFDAT) is a non-profit organisation, registered as a 501c(3) non-profit organization in the United States of America (USA). We are dedicated to the advancement of global employee drug and alcohol testing systems and processes. In keeping with the international platform, the appointed Board Members and representatives of IFDAT cover a global reach.
Dear IFDAT Community,
Due to a number of reasons, we have taken the very difficult decision to move the IFDAT 2023 conference (planned for Tampa, USA November 12th-14th) and re-schedule it for 17th-19th April 2024. It will take place in the same venue.
So why this difficult decision? Well, we have considered a few factors.
We have not taken this decision lightly, and fully understand that some have already started to make plans and booked hotels etc. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.
Our focus is, and always will be, on delivering a high quality World leading conference. IFDAT is the leading organisation bringing together a global community of stakeholders within the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industries. By providing a platform and annual conference, IFDAT delivers high quality information, education and knowledge from (and to) a community of industry leading professionals. By sharing best practice, guidelines, latest technologies, trends, innovation and also working closely with “regional” organisations from many different countries/continents – IFDAT helps shape the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry worldwide and provides the best networking opportunities to help the IFDAT community to grow their business with like-minded partners.
We hope that you appreciate that we have the best interests of all of the IFDAT community at our core, and that you will understand that we have made this decision for the right reasons. We hope that you will continue to support us and make IFDAT Tampa 2024 a great success.
As you can imagine, following this decision we have a lot to amend. But we wanted to communicate with our valuable community first and as soon as possible. So please be patient and bear with us at this time. IFDAT does not have the luxury of employed staff and relies on volunteer input.
We will be making changes to our website in the next week or so, including new links for hotel bookings (at discounted rates) and a fully automated conference booking and payment system for both delegates and sponsors.
On behalf of all of us at IFDAT, we would like to thank everyone in advance for you continued support. We genuinely believe that our community is the best in the world. Together, we make a real difference to improve our global industry through innovation, best practice, discussion and action.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if required via email info@ifdat.com.
Regards,
The IFDAT Board
We would like to thank all the Speakers, Sponsors, Delegates, Volunteers, Partners and Venue for making IFDAT2022 in Salzburg such a great success!
The IFDAT team are working hard behind the scenes on IFDAT2024 Tampa and also to bring you our online attendee’s booking and payment system. Apologies that it is not available at this time. Keep checking back, it won’t be too long now!
Be sure to keep an eye out – so you can be first to know, secure your place and take advantage of our “Early Bird” offers!
If you are interested in being a Sponsor or Speaker (or indeed just helping out as a volunteer) at IFDAT2024 – then please contact Matt Taylor via email: info@ifdat.com
Thank you!
IFDAT have negotiated special discounted rates for hotel rooms. The nearest (“host”) hotel is at “The Westin Tampa Waterside” and is only 5 minutes walking distance from the IFDAT2024 venue. The second hotel is at the “Hyatt Place Tampa Downtown” and is 10 minutes walking distance from the IFDAT2024 venue.
We have negotiated these discounted rates for the dates of the conference AND for dates either side. Any additional days will be at the hotel’s standard rates. Room availability is limited and allocated on a “first come – first served” basis. If all rooms have been allocated, or your budget differs, then you will find many other good quality hotels in the area, with great transport links to the IFDAT2024 venue – the Tampa Convention Center.
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.
Unfortunately, we are unable to display the brochure or program from this year. Apologies for any inconvenience.
