NatCon 2026 – Day 3 Recap: A Look Back
April 29, 2026 | Colorado Convention Center, Denver, CO
Day 3 brought a bittersweet energy to the Colorado Convention Center in Denver — the kind that comes at the end of something truly special. The exhibit hall buzzed with final conversations, last-minute connections, and the shared sense of accomplishment that comes from three days of focused, passionate engagement around one of the most important topics in healthcare today: behavioral health.
For the Vanguard Research Group team, it was an unforgettable conference from start to finish, and we couldn’t be more grateful for every conversation, every handshake, and every moment spent with the incredible professionals who make this field what it is.
Three Days. Countless Connections.
From the moment we set up at Booth #1714 on April 27th to the final hours on the floor today, NatCon 2026 delivered in every way. We came to Denver with the goal of connecting with sponsors, investigators, treatment providers, and partners who share our commitment to advancing behavioral health through rigorous, real-world clinical research — and that’s exactly what we found.
Over three days we had the privilege of speaking with behavioral health professionals from across the country — each bringing their own unique perspective, challenges, and vision for the future of mental health and substance use care. Those conversations remind us why the work we do at VRG matters, and they fuel us as we look ahead to what comes next.
