Join The Network for a national convening about the illicit massage industry - one of the most prolific and misunderstood forms of human trafficking in the United States.

The two-day gathering will provide a collaborative space to learn from professionals across the anti-trafficking field, along with expert training on promising and effective strategies to combat human trafficking in illicit massage businesses.

The convening will be educational and action-oriented: to both improve understanding of the issue and to equip professionals with the insights, tools, and best practices that will lead to positive impact.
