April 27th – 29th, 2021

Whether you are an individual, an organization, or a public health institution  – You can courageously protect children from sexual abuse.

“I’ve been in social work for 25 years and I’ve been to a lot of conferences. Ignite is among the best – great energy, great information, very inspiring.” – Jennifer A., Arlington, VA

Due to COVID-19, the 2021 National Prevention Conference, presented by the Monique Burr Foundation for Children, will be held virtually. While we will miss being all together, we are excited about the opportunity for even more individuals to attend! IGNITE, Darkness to Light’s National Prevention Conference brings together Darkness to Light Authorized Facilitators, child sexual abuse professionals and experts, researchers, and individuals from a wide variety of disciplines who share a commitment to the prevention of child sexual abuse.

The future of child sexual abuse prevention is collaborative – by working together, we will make a bigger impact. In that spirit, Darkness to Light and the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse are teaming up to offer their annual prevention events, IGNITE 2021, presented by MBF, and Child Sexual Abuse: A Public Health Perspective together in a single event. The collaboration will expand the event to three days bringing you even more expertise, content, and training.

The conference will engage attendees on a national level to equip, strengthen, and organize their child sexual abuse prevention initiative as well as provide advanced training, thought-provoking interactive sessions, and help individuals and organizations bring back fresh ideas to their communities. Offering three tracks – there is something for everyone.

The conference will be held virtually on April 27th through 29th, 2021, with pre-conference activities available on April 26th.
