“This devastating health crisis has not kept human traffickers from their evil endeavors and we won’t let it stop us from joining together as a state and nation to share ideas and learn more effective strategies for eradicating this horrific crime. I am overwhelmed at the outpouring of support and interest in our virtual Human Trafficking Summit. Even though thousands have already registered, we still have room for more and would invite anyone interested in joining our fight to register for the summit now,” Moody said on Monday.

This year, registrants will get a unique opportunity to participate in more than 15 hours of presentations from subject-matter experts from across the country without having to travel or leave the office. Each presentation will be one hour in length. Summit attendees will be able to participate in targeted breakout sessions covering:

  • Legal and law enforcement;
  • Service delivery;
  • Policy and research; and
  • Medical and health care.

The virtual summit is free-of-charge and launches Tuesday, Oct. 6.  The annual Human Trafficking Summit is hosted by the Florida Attorney General’s Office, the Statewide Council on Human Trafficking, the Department of Children and Families, the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Department of Health, Florida Alliance to End Human Trafficking, Inc. and Junior Leagues of Florida State Public Affairs Committee. This year’s collegiate partner is the University of Central Florida.
