Anti-Human Trafficking Conference

[mic0]

Hey all, I realize this is late notice, but I thought some of you may be interested. This Thursday and Friday during the day there will be lectures and panel discussions about human trafficking. It is being put on by the School of Social Work, and they have invited Kevin Bales, the current leader of the U.S.-based group Free The Slaves. I have met him before and he is a very nice man as well as intelligent.

Basically I am really excited for this, and just wanted to let everyone know it is happening. You can find more information: here (schedule) and here (BYU news piece).

Hope some of you can make it.

Mico! Will you be there too? Which session are you attending?

[mic0]

Unfortunately I have classes and work most of those days... But I am going to try and attend the panel discussion on Thursday and one of the 9 o'clock sessions on Friday. When are you going?!

[Whistler]

all I can think of is that is a terrible name for a conference.

[mic0]

THERE. So, does that mean you're going?

[Marduk]

Would you rather a "pro-human trafficking conference?"

[ahem.]

[It used to be titled "Human Trafficking Conference" and has since been changed.]

[mic0]

You know what, I guess it should really be "Conference About the Subject Human Trafficking."

But guess what everyone, I'm pretty sure the title was not that confusing to begin with. HONESTLY.

[UnluckyStuntman]

Ya, I don't see anything wrong with the title at all.

Mico - I'll be there for the Thursday morning session and stay through the luncheon. I hope to see you there

I'm going to Fridays 9 am legal session ^.^ Unfortunately I have work/class during the rest of it -.-

[UnluckyStuntman]

Werf Must -

I went to the session this morning and it blew my mind. Let me know how the Friday one goes. Sadly, I have to work and cannot attend.

I'm going to the human trafficking conference NEXT weekend. It's more like a trade show, really.

[vorpal blade]

A human trafficking trade show? That sounds...disturbing.
