PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) defines human trafficking as:

  • The act of recruiting, harboring, transporting, providing or obtaining a person for labor, services or commercial sex acts
  • By means of force, fraud or coercion;
  • For the purpose of exploitation, involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, slavery or any commercial sex act involving a minor.

According to the DHS, human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery that may materialize in the form of sex trafficking, labor trafficking or both. The United Nations reports that 2.4 million people across the globe are victims of HT4 at any one time. Eighty percent of those victims are forced into sexual slavery, half of which are children.

This panel will discuss the role that the hospitality industry plays in the elimination of human trafficking at/during events, from staff to leadership. Panelists will include a Northern Virginia woman whose daughter was sold into human trafficking at the age of 15.

  • I am a member of IAEE, and particularly the DC chapter of IAEE, because it is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences I have ever encountered in this Industry. My membership with IAEE has taken me to places that I only dreamed of! Because of IAEE, I have been able to teach CEM classes all over the country and in other parts of the world! The Networking opportunities and the camaraderie of belonging to the DC chapter are HUGE benefits of membership. If I had to prioritize where to spend my “marketing dollars,” my first choice would be with IAEE.
