Exhibitor/Vendor Fair: Showcase what your agency does, who it serves, and other interesting facts to engage attendees by tabling at the conference this year. There is no charge to have a table and it includes one waived conference registration ($275 value). The form can be found here. The deadline to register for a table is May 8, 2024.
Awards: We've expanded the eligibility for award criteria to allow nominations for an individual, program, or organization, and for any individual whose primary job responsibility entails working with crime victims. Consider honoring the people who work in the field of crime victim services by nominating them for their distinguished service and/or for advancing the rights of crime victim survivors. Criteria and nomination instructions can be found here. May 3rd, 2024 is the deadline to nominate someone.
Scholarships: Scholarship applications are available for the annual conference. Scholarships include admission to all conference sessions, materials, self-care classes and the exhibitor/resource fair. Also included are conference meals and breaks. You can (also) elect for the scholarship to cover one evening of lodging, Tuesday, May 21, 2024. Recipients are responsible for their own travel expenses, their own food/meals outside of the conference, and will need to fill out the application and submit a short statement on why you wish to attend, including a description of your experience with crime victim survivors and populations you serve. The word format for the application can be found here. Application deadline is May 8, 2024.

Awards: Our warmest Congratulations goes out to award recipients Ashley Taylor-Gouge' (Sexual Violence Center) for taking home the Distinguished Service Award and to Kentral Galloway (Next Step-Hennepin HealthCare) for the Dr. William Kosiak Victim Service Professional Award.
Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination this year for someone to be recognized either for their sustained service to crime victims over the course of their career, or to someone who has advanced the rights of crime victim survivors.
The Office of Justice Programs supports Continuing Education. Because there are so many strict
and unique requirements between the vast number of disciplines we work with, we have found the
most flexible option is to allow the individual to apply with their respective board/agency
and we can validate if needed/necessary.
