Agenda
The exploitation of people through modern slavery is generating higher profits than ever before. Profits from forced labor have risen by 37% over the last decade. Child labor is on the rise globally, including in developed economies. Global crises, conflicts, and the climate emergency are escalating human trafficking risks.
At the same time, efforts to eradicate these crimes are ramping up. From modern slavery-related regulations, to voluntary industry action, technology and data are critical for effective implementation of these interventions.
Join us at the third global Tech Against Trafficking Summit to discuss some of the most urgent issues at the nexus of human trafficking and technology.
Agenda
Formal programming for the Summit will take place all day on November 13 and a half day on November 14, followed by informal programming and networking opportunities. Discussion topics will include the use of technology solutions to build an effective supply chain data ecosystem, the prevention of tech- facilitated trafficking on digital platforms and payment systems, and the impact of AI in anti-trafficking efforts. Please download the agenda for the event.
