PACT Annual Convening 2024
What are PACT Annual Convenings?
PACT Convenings provide a once-a-year opportunity for Network Members from across California to come together for in-person learning, connection, and collaboration. Over the course of three days, we’ll connect with purpose, collaborate with peers, and shape a shared path forward to prevent and respond to child trafficking.
Together, we amplify our impact and reimagine what’s possible—so that every child has the freedom to thrive.
This year’s agenda will focus on:
-
Peer exchange that sparks insight and shared learning
-
Emerging innovations and promising practices from the field
-
Community learning grounded in diverse identities, lived experiences, and the expertise that strengthens our movement
Join us as we build momentum, deepen relationships, and advance our collective commitment to a future where every child is safe, supported, and free.
PACT is the thread that weaves us all together... participation has helped improve our practice and grow our local program.”
