Workshops and Presenters Selected: There will be over 75 workshops that will present some exciting, cutting-edge work from experts in the sexual assault and rape prevention and intervention fields. Many presenters will highlight practices from their local agencies. Some of the cities and states that will be represented in these workshops include Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, Iowa, Virginia, Washington DC, Kentucky, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and California. You can see summary of the presentations (Including a partial list of presenters) at the conference website: www.calcasa.org/rd/nsac
The workshops will be organized into 6 major workshop tracks: 1) intervention/advocacy; 2) prevention; 3) legal advocacy 4) media/technology; 5) leadership development; and 6) wellness. In addition, the plenary/keynote sessions will focus on three key areas; media, activism and wellness. We are working to secure keynote speakers who are not only within the sexual assault field but outside too. Most importantly, through the workshops and plenary sessions, we will raise the importance of culture, inclusiveness and collaboration in the work we do to "build the world we want to live in" (the conference theme).
Even More Activities: There will be a mini-film festival, with directors and writers discussing their films. We will also showcase PSA's from around the country. Lastly, there will be a unique "tech lounge" and exhibition area for attendees to receive free one-on-one consultation from social media and technology experts.
