For many months, we have been hard at work planning for the 2020 Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation (CESE) Global Summit. This is the linchpin annual event for the worldwide movement to end all forms of sexual exploitation, and every year it is a source that springs forth new partnerships, projects, and victories.
However, as you also know, concerns about the novel coronavirus and the timeline for a reinstatement of international travel and major events is still uncertain. Out of an abundance of caution for attendee wellbeing, we are canceling the in-person CESE Global Summit. This may surprise you since the Summit isn’t until July. But right now is the timeframe when most attendees decide to buy their tickets and begin arranging travel. Since there is so much uncertainty (and because the Summit is a significant financial commitment for our organization) we felt that going forward with the in-person Summit was not wise use of resources for such an uncertain outcome.
BUT WE HAVE GOOD NEWS: FOR 2020, THE CESE GLOBAL SUMMIT IS GOING ONLINE AND IT WILL BE FREE.
That’s right! You will still be able to learn from top experts and participate in interactive working groups with others in the movement to end sexual exploitation this July 18-28. Over these 10 days, you will have the opportunity to learn from 100+ presenters from 25+ countries. We are excited for the opportunities this will yield for the movement as we learn together and find new ways to unite with abolitionists from all over the world.
New videos will be released every day, so you can watch them at a convenient time, and we will have several live video meetings for leaders like yourself to connect and network around specific topics.
We believe this Online Global Summit will provide even greater opportunities for rural and international leader participation. In fact, we expect more than 10,000 people to participate! So make sure you’re one of them!
We will have more information and details for you soon soon. In the meantime, make sure to register for a FREE spot right now so you can stay on top of all the exciting details.
