LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) will return to Prague, Czech Republic, for the upcoming TES Affiliate Conferences, taking place September 12–15 at the Vienna House Diplomat Hotel.
Founded in 1996, ASACP spearheads the global fight to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented entertainment and other age-restricted materials online. It is a nonprofit organization supported by its sponsors and members. ASACP works with numerous international businesses, law enforcement agencies, and digital media industry stakeholders to wage its ongoing fight against child exploitation and sexual abuse online.
A vital part of the association’s mission is to educate the industry about the importance of online child protection, offering improvement solutions, and addressing current challenges amid a wave of new age and identity-verification mandates coming into force. A primary means for imparting this education and for developing dialogues is through attendance at leading industry events.
Founded in 2009, TES Affiliate Conferences is Europe’s largest online industry event. It unites professionals from the adult entertainment industry, e-commerce, financials, gaming, gambling, dating, forex, health, nutraceuticals, and more for an intensive three-day networking opportunity.
An event spokesperson said, "From the onset, TES Affiliate Conferences was intent on creating a great networking experience for its attendees and delegates. In our high-tech world, it is still of supreme importance that excellent interpersonal relationships are developed and maintained as the cornerstones of building a successful business."
In addition to its complimentary sponsor status, TES has provided the association with a table at the event’s Meet Market, allowing ASACP to engage with business owners and operators face-to-face.
TES has also underwritten ASACP executive director Tim Henning and fundraising director Michelle Marriott’s admission and accommodations.
For its part, the association supports TES and its leadership in boosting the industry’s professionalism and is grateful for the assistance it receives from TES’ promoters.
Henning said, "By educating website operators, app publishers, and other stakeholders about the latest business standards and practices for legal compliance, especially when user-generated content is involved, we strengthen the fight to protect children online. TES has long provided the association an unparalleled opportunity to reach the most diverse range of businesses and influencers imaginable. It is vital to ASACP’s European outreach and our educational and fundraising efforts."
ASACP’s Exclusive Travel Sponsor, DialXS, is generously underwriting Henning’s airfare to and from TES’s venue city of Prague, providing the association with the assistance it needs to carry out its international outreach efforts.
Henning added, "Thanks to DialXS and the promoters of the TES Affiliate Conferences, ASACP will once again meet in person with top business leaders as well as newcomers to the industry across a range of relevant market segments. It is the perfect opportunity to deliver the association’s message of keeping children out of and away from adult-oriented entertainment, and we strongly encourage everyone to meet with us in Prague."
Tools include free child protection resources for parents, Best Practices tailored to specific adult market segments, and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for all website and mobile app publishers. These vital resources help empower companies of all sizes to prevent minors from accessing age-restricted content.
One of ASACP’s most notable achievements is its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system, which prevents children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and apps. Additionally, its CP Reporting Tipline has processed over 1.25 million reports since its inception and remains a vital global resource.
Henning concluded, "ASACP provides the tools and know-how for protecting children online. After that, it takes the commitment and support of stakeholders to see the process through, as we move the industry towards a more prosperous future that is safer for children and more secure for adults. With the help of events such as TES, our success is all but guaranteed."
