About this event
Join us for two powerful days dedicated to disrupting human trafficking and building safer, stronger communities. The Disruptors Summit brings together advocates, survivors, nonprofits, law enforcement, educators, service providers, and concerned citizens for an immersive learning and networking experience in the heart of Southern Oregon.
Human trafficking thrives in the shadows, along major transportation routes, in hidden industries, and online. This summit shines a light on every form of exploitation, from labor trafficking to online abuse, and equips attendees with tools to take meaningful action. You’ll hear from survivor leaders, discover prevention strategies, learn how to identify signs of trafficking, and explore collaborative solutions that work.
Through keynote sessions, panels, and interactive workshops, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of both the local and global scope of trafficking. You’ll also connect with others committed to ending exploitation, fostering relationships that extend far beyond the event.
The Ashland Hills Hotel & Conference Center offers a welcoming space for reflection, dialogue, and action, just minutes from I-5 Exit 14 with free parking, onsite dining, and nearby lodging. Your registration includes access to all sessions, agency showcases, and community networking opportunities.
Whether you’re a professional in the field, a community leader, or someone who simply refuses to stand by, the 2026 Disruptors Summit will inspire, challenge, and empower you to make a difference.
Reserve your spot today, because ending trafficking starts with informed, united, and determined communities.
