About this Event

Presented by The Underground NE, this conference will bring together churches and communities across the Greater Hartford region to learn, connect, and take action in the fight against human trafficking.


You'll hear impactful stories, receive practical resources, and discover how your church or community can be part of the solution.


Our speakers include lived experience experts, anti-trafficking and law enforcement professionals with decades of experience, service providers, and community leaders.


You'll walk away knowing:

  • What trafficking really looks like,
  • Who's being trafficked,
  • Why victims remain trapped in trafficking (this one may surprise you),
  • What it takes for victims to walk in freedom.

Most importantly, you'll leave with practical steps so you can actually make a difference in this fight.


Together, we can shine a light in the darkness!
