Join Tapestri for our upcoming 5th Annual Human Trafficking Forum: Enhancing Multidisciplinary Response to Human Trafficking.

Human trafficking affects diverse communities across the world including our communities in the state of Georgia. We gather each January, in honor of National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, to share knowledge and build community connections.

Tickets are free to law enforcement and $20 for all other participants.

Registration includes free post credits to law enforcement, lunch and breakfast for all participants, and a full day of workshops.

This forum has been approved for 5 POST credits for Law Enforcement attendees. Law enforcement can reserve a seat at the forum by emailing maja@tapestri.org

We will be in Lower Evans Hall at Agnes Scott. On this campus map, it is building 24. You can either park in the visitor loop at the front of campus (where the GPS will take you when you enter 141 E. College Ave.) or in the visitor parking deck at the intersection of E. College Ave. and S. McDonough St.
