Conference History

What began in Boston in 2009 — where attendees had to register before even learning the conference location, and many used pseudonyms for their own safety — has grown into the largest annual gathering focused on sex offense law reform in the United States. Each year, in a new city, the conference brings together registrants, family members, researchers, attorneys, and advocates from across the country.

By 2012, the conference was publicly promoted and welcomed openly in cities across America. In 2019, the Mayor of Houston sent an official welcome letter. The movement has come a long way.
