2025 HT Summit

Attorney General Dave Yost’s Human Trafficking Summit will mark its sixth year on July 30, returning to the Hyatt Regency Columbus, site of last year’s event.

The summit brings together community stakeholders from throughout Ohio who are committed to ending sex and labor trafficking. AG Yost and his Human Trafficking Initiative (HTI) team encourage advocates and social workers, survivors, law enforcement officers, lawyers, prosecutors, judges and others to join us. Whether you’re a newcomer to the fight or a longtime advocate, the summit provides an ideal setting for learning, sharing insights and experiences, and developing new friendships. You’re sure to leave feeling enlightened and energized.

The daylong event will feature opening remarks from AG Yost, a keynote presentation on compassion fatigue and burnout prevention from Dr. Alexis Kennedy of the University of Nevada, and your choice of four hourlong workshops.

Attendees can receive up to five hours of CEUs (for counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists), CLEs, health-care CEs, and peace officer CPTs.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
