Speakers from all around Utah came to Landmark to discuss the importance of all these topics. Some speakers were professionals while others were here to speak about their stories and experiences.   

Many of the speakers are or were struggling with drug and alcohol abuse. However, many of the speakers that have overcome drug and alcohol abuse are now participating or directing organizations like Addict to Athlete. These organizations are dedicated to helping those who are struggling in all types of addictions.
