Nashville, TN, United States — July 15, 2026 — More than 7,000 attendees are projected to gather in Nashville, TN, for the All Rise conference, commencing on July 20, 2026. Positioned as the world's premier training conference in addiction, mental health, and justice innovation, the event will convene professionals at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center to address systemic approaches to substance use and mental health within the justice system.
Evolution of Justice System Innovation
The conference is organized by All Rise, an entity that serves as a training, membership, and advocacy organization dedicated to justice system innovation. This organization, formerly known as The National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP), transitioned its identity to All Rise to more accurately reflect its expanded scope in addressing substance use and mental health for individuals involved in the justice system. The event's focus underscores a broader policy shift towards integrated solutions for public health and public safety challenges, a critical area for public policy advisors and investors monitoring social infrastructure.
Program Structure and Participant Engagement
The All Rise conference is structured to facilitate extensive professional development and dialogue across its diverse participant base. Concurrent programs scheduled for the event will include Discipline Skill-Building Sessions, General Sessions, Standards Skill-Building Workshops, Concurrent Sessions, Track A Sessions, Track B Sessions, Track C Sessions, and Track D Sessions. This array of sessions is designed to cater to the varied expertise of its attendees.
The event's target audience encompasses representatives from all models of treatment court, alongside leaders, policymakers, and other key stakeholders from the legal, treatment, and social service fields. Furthermore, leaders from recovery and veteran communities, as well as public health and public safety leaders committed to expanding treatment and recovery for people impacted by substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorders and trauma who are involved in the justice system, are expected to participate.
The broad participation from these sectors underscores the interdisciplinary nature of justice system innovation. Past editions of the conference have demonstrated significant engagement, with nearly 300 treatment court alumni attending RISE25 in 2025, indicating a strong community of practice and sustained interest in these policy areas.
