Midwest Conference on Problem Gambling & Substance Abuse  KCMO  June 17-19, 2020

The Executive Committee has come to a decision to cancel the 2020 Midwest Conference on Problem Gambling and Substance Abuse. It is clear that the COVID-19 community spread is far from over. The risk is far too great to plan to hold a conference when real danger could overcome the conference attendees that are so dear to our hearts, and so important in their respective communities. Please know that the MCPGSA will be working tirelessly over the next year to plan for a celebratory 2021 Conference when we can all come together again.
