About this event

Individuals with lived experience engaging in transactional sex for socioeconomic reasons have driven the event planning for this conference. During the event, they will join other experts and practitioners in four moderated panel discussions: health and violence, supports and services, policy, and special populations. Through these discussions, panelists will identify unaddressed needs, provide an overview of relevant and cutting-edge research on the factors driving individuals’ involvement in transactional sex, and share innovative policies and practices aimed at providing effective and appropriate responses to support individuals engaged in transactional sex for socioeconomic reasons.

Funding for this conference is generously provided by the Simmons Foundation. As a result, we are able to waive the registration fee for all attendees. In addition, all individuals with lived experience who attend the event will be provided a gift-card to thank you for sharing your time and expertise.

The conference will take place Monday, October 7th at the Cooley Center and Tuesday, the 8th at the Omni Hotel. Registration is free and includes both days.
