The Center for Prevention of Abuse Postpones “Light 2020: A Multistate Educational Conference on Human Trafficking,” Amid COVID-19
– The
Center for Prevention of Abuse (CFPA) will postpone Light 2020: A
Multistate Educational Conference on Human Trafficking on April 1-2,
2020 at Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino due to travel bans and restrictions for
conference participants around the country surrounding COVID-19. The free
community night scheduled for March 31 is also postponed. The new dates are not
yet scheduled.
The two-day conference planned to bring together experts,
service providers, educators, and stakeholders in Illinois and surrounding
states to shine a light on human trafficking in the United States and share
best practices, innovative campaigns and technology, preventative efforts and
measures, and survivor care and strategies to help prevent, combat, and respond
to the human trafficking crisis.
“The Center for Prevention of Abuse has been paying close
attention to COVID-19 and due to travel restrictions around the country
affecting many of our participants, including keynote speakers, session
leaders, and conference attendees, we are confident in our decision to postpone
Light 2020 and the free community we were planning to offer,” said Carol Merna,
Chief Executive Officer at the Center for Prevention of Abuse. “We take the
health and safety of all of our conference participants very seriously and look
forward to hosting this important educational conference on human trafficking
in the future.”
CPFA will reimburse all conference attendees for their
registration fees. For more information, visit www.light2020conference.com.
