About Our Conference

Our 2024 Theme

Sparking Collective Action

In a world where violence prevention and survivor-centered responses are persistently challenged, it has become crucial to bring people together. This conference acts as a catalyst for creating a sense of community and sharing our knowledge, strategies, and resources. It provides a dedicated space where we can dream, share, and gather to tackle the pressing issues of violence prevention, survivor support, and systems change. It is a call to action, uniting voices from all corners of society to collaborate and ignite a collective force, to build healthier, safer, and more resilient communities for all.

What to Expect

We are so excited to offer OAESV’s 2024 conference, taking place again in Columbus, Ohio! We invite partners from all over the state to convene, network, and share ideas and best practices. It will be held June 25-27, welcoming keynote speakers, workshops, identity-based affinity groups, self-care, and more.
