ICMEC Australia Symposium 2024: Vigilant Disruption of Child Sexual Exploitation

October 30 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

This valuable in-person event is dedicated to combatting online-facilitated child sexual exploitation (CSE), uniting senior leaders from various sectors within the CSE response landscape.

At the forefront of discussions will be the urgent need for interdisciplinary collaboration in confronting this abhorrent crime. From organisations inadvertently entangled in CSE to those actively fighting it on the front lines, a collective response is imperative in tackling this ever-evolving threat.

The ICMEC Australia Symposium 2024 will invite leaders from sectors such as financial services, cryptocurrency, travel, telecommunications, and ISPs to come together with law enforcement and other key stakeholders from the public sector to explore how collaboration can strengthen public-private partnerships in fighting and preventing CSE.

The event will dive into practical knowledge attendees can leverage around identifying, detecting, reporting, and preventing CSE to strengthen their organisation’s fulfilment of regulatory and social obligations. Attendees will also walk away with a better understanding of how to navigate the steps forward; equipped with tools, resources, and connections to bolster the whole-of-system approach that is so desperately needed to fight this silent epidemic.

The audience

The Symposium is an invite-only event.

At ICMEC Australia, we highly value community engagement and embrace diverse perspectives. The event is designed for senior leaders in:
