The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to honor Epoch, AVN, and TES Affiliate Conferences as its first Featured Sponsors of 2026.
Now in its 30th year, ASACP is an award-winning, globally recognized, member- and sponsor-supported nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting online child safety by proactively helping parents and businesses to protect children from online harms.
ASACP receives financial and material support from a family of leading digital media companies and support services, as well as from organizations, caring individuals, and other stakeholders, including its monthly honor roll of featured sponsors.
ASACP’s featured sponsors are highly respected industry leaders recognized for their significant contributions to corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and the implementation of procedural and technical measures that ensure child safety. These measures aim to protect minors and other vulnerable users from accidental exposure to age-restricted online content, ensuring the safety and innocence of children as they go about their daily digital lives.
ASACP’s Executive Director, Tim Henning, thanks Epoch, AVN, and TES Affiliate Conferences for their ongoing support and sincerely appreciates the association’s dedicated sponsors for their vital role in creating a safer future through their online child protection efforts.
“Our sponsors’ dedication to age assurance helps safeguard youths’ innocence,” Henning said, emphasizing that the free tools, education, and outreach offered by ASACP rely on their generous support. “Together, we are genuinely making a positive impact!”
These 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.
Among ASACP’s most notable achievements are its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system, which prevents children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and apps, and its CSAM Reporting Tipline, which has received and processed 1.6 million reports since its inception and remains a vital global resource.
The association’s family of industry leaders, including January’s Featured Sponsors — Epoch, AVN, and TES Affiliate Conferences — is crucial in making our tools and services accessible to the broader community.
Epoch
A founding Platinum Sponsor that has supported ASACP for over 20 years, Epoch is a payment facilitator that enables merchants to process online and mobile transactions. It accepts global payments for digital products and services while earning a reputation for legitimacy and oversight of client web properties.
Epoch takes an active, two-pronged approach to child protection. First, it ensures that its services are not used by illegal websites selling materials depicting underage performers. Second, it selflessly provides dedicated service to the association’s Advisory Committee, which helps set responsible standards and practices for legitimate adult entertainment and other companies. Epoch also provides boardroom facilities for ASACP meetings and other tangible assets.
Epoch’s responsible corporate philosophy prioritizes the protection of children, exemplifying the type of industry-leading company that makes up ASACP’s most valued sponsors.
AVN Media Network
A Platinum Sponsor since 2002, the AVN Media Network has a long and generous history of support for ASACP and its noble mission. The company is the definitive source for adult entertainment news and information covering the evolution of this multibillion-dollar global industry. AVN helps set the standard for the business of pleasure by delivering unparalleled content reaching industry professionals, mainstream media, and a diverse spectrum of consumer groups and communities.
AVN protects children from accessing adult-oriented material on its websites by utilizing RTA labeling as a protective measure. It has also been generous to the association financially and through material support, extending its hospitality at AVN events by providing advertising services, underwriting hotel accommodations, and participating in ASACP’s Advisory Council.
TES Affiliate Conferences
Carrying the spirit of “Create, Collaborate, and Convert,” TES Affiliate Conferences — once known as The European Summit — has grown into a powerhouse gathering and a long-standing champion of online safety through its partnership with ASACP, which it has proudly maintained since 2010.
Launched in 2009, TES isn’t simply another industry event. It’s a three-day journey where trailblazers from online entertainment, e-commerce, finance, gaming, dating, forex, nutraceuticals, and countless other digital frontiers meet to ignite ideas and shape the future.
“At TES, we know success rarely happens in isolation,” said an event representative. “That’s why we’ve built an unmatched environment designed for genuine connection. In a world that moves at digital speed, strong relationships are the real competitive edge — and TES is where those connections begin.”
TES isn’t only about business matchmaking; it’s also about making a meaningful difference. As part of its commitment to online child protection, TES offers ASACP members a 10% discount on admission using the code iloveasacpminus10percent.
“As one of ASACP’s most dedicated allies, we’re proud to help amplify the essential mission of protecting children online — across Europe and beyond,” the rep added.
“Join us to Create, Collaborate, and Convert as you meet the right people, learn from industry leaders, and contribute to an event that drives both innovation and impact.”
Henning expressed gratitude to Epoch, AVN, and TES Affiliate Conferences for their continued support, generosity, and leadership in helping the association achieve its goal of preventing children from accessing or creating adult-oriented content.
“ASACP’s sponsors and members are vital for ensuring a safer space for consenting adults and for shielding society’s most vulnerable from online dangers and inappropriate material,” Henning concluded. “The association’s sponsors play a key role in shaping the industry and are dedicated to safeguarding children online.”
