Business Leaders Forum to Combat Human Trafficking 2017 in Washington, DC

On September 5-6, the United Way Center on Human Trafficking & Slavery is hosting the 2017 Business Leaders Forum to Combat Human Trafficking in Washington, DC. Currently, there are more than 20 million victims of human trafficking around the world, and businesses are increasingly engaged in the fight against human trafficking. iPoint is delighted to be a partner of this important event, which provides insights into what the business community is doing to fight human trafficking.

The convention offers different panels, such as

  • Supply Chain Strategies that work

  • Human Trafficking and the Rule of Law

  • Employee Training

  • Business & NGO Collaboration

Julia Ormond, actress and founder of the Alliance to Stop Slavery and End Trafficking (ASSET), will deliver a keynote on “The Imperative to Act”. Other speakers include Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), chair of the senate committee dealing with anti-human trafficking, and several other speakers from the economic, non-governmental, and policy sphere.

Furthermore, we’re proud to announce that iPoint’s Senior Consultant Tolga Yaprak will moderate the panel on “Supply Chain Strategies that Work”, which features speakers from Nokia, Total S.A., and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
