The 12th International Alcohol Interlock Symposium held in Palm Springs, California, was the largest of the symposia to date. More than 175 attendees representing 18 different countries attended the event. The growth of the symposium, which had humble beginnings with only 26 attendees present in 2000, demonstrates the continued interest in not only the use of alcohol interlocks but also in the enhancement of existing interlock programs, the pursuit of technological innovation, and the implementation of new legislation and programs internationally. It also highlights the growing body of knowledge regarding treatment, recidivism, and best practices research. many of these issues were addressed at this year’s symposium and are discussed in greater detail in these proceedings.
