TRAFFICKING IN AMERICA CONFERENCE

Our Conference lineup this year focuses much more on the Demand and Prevention side of human trafficking, while still helping and supporting the supply, or victim-side of this horrendous issue as well. The Demand side of human trafficking focuses on making an impact on our culture in America.

Please NOTE* The agenda is the most current and will be updated on a regular basis as we strive to coordinate the speakers.
