LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has announced that it will once again be traveling to Las Vegas for AVN's InterNEXT Expo.
The annual B2B event will run from January 26-28 at the Sahara Las Vegas, where it will provide seminars, networking sessions, executive dinners and other opportunities for interaction among a range of industry operators.
ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning will be in attendance to represent the association and to meet with digital media companies, regulatory stakeholders and more.
“InterNEXT Expo provides ASACP with an unmatched opportunity to educate stakeholders at every level, from the most established operators to the newest companies,” Henning explained. “This event represents a range of unique opportunities for the association to raise awareness of the many dangers facing today’s digitally connected youth, and the measures that can be taken toward protecting children from exposure to age-restricted materials.”
The event's promoters are providing ASACP with a table at the Meet Market networking event and sponsor-level banner placement. In addition, the promoters are helping underwrite Henning’s attendance at the show through complimentary Executive-level admission and by covering two nights of his hotel stay in Las Vegas.
“It’s important for the industry to stand together on important issues, such as preventing children from seeing age-restricted materials online,” Theo from InterNEXT parent GFY said. “By helping ASACP have a presence at our events, we make it easier for the association to reach the decision-makers that can best influence children’s online safety.
“I hope that all InterNEXT attendees will take a moment to meet with Tim and learn how they can help,” Theo added.
ASACP’s Travel Sponsor, DialXS, is underwriting Henning’s airfare and also providing three additional nights of hotel accommodations for further meetings between Henning and industry leaders.
“InterNEXT has long provided valuable assistance to the association, for which we are grateful,” Henning stated. “Without the generous financial and material support that our sponsors provide us, including DialXS’ travel expense assistance, we could not reach the necessary decision-makers or achieve ASACP’s ongoing record of success.”
This success includes ASACP’s globally recognized Child Exploitation Tipline that has processed more than 1 million CP reports to-date; its award-winning Restricted To Adults (RTA) meta-label that helps filter age-restricted materials; plus market-specific Best Practices; and a universal Code of Ethics that guides companies to child-safe operation.
“ASACP has always led the way in online child protection, thanks to the ongoing support of our sponsors, and this expertise is needed by the industry now more than ever,” Henning concluded. “As 2020 rolls on, the worldwide calls for mandatory age verification and other measures will continue, with ASACP ready to respond with alternatives and education regarding this serious subject.”
