LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) announced today that representatives of the organization will head to Romania next week to participate in the Bucharest Summit. This year’s Bucharest Summit takes place May 30 through June 1 at the Radisson Blu Hotel.
“Bucharest Summit prides itself as being the hub of business conferences in Romania, as Bucharest itself is one of the industry’s leading hotspots in Europe today,” a spokesperson for the Summit said in ASACP’s announcement. “Business is all about connections, whether you are a performer, a marketer, a salesperson, or a CEO. The Bucharest Summit brings together all players in the industry, as well as mainstream products, billing and service providers, suppliers, marketers, affiliates, and webmasters, covering all business areas.”
According to ASACP, the Bucharest Summit’s promoters have “once again welcomed ASACP with complimentary admission.”
“Bucharest Summit attracts numerous players from the live cam and streaming spaces, which like other user-generated content sites, have unique child protection and compliance requirements that our services can help with,” said ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning. “Likewise, the ad networks, billing companies, productions studios, and others in attendance provide valuable networking opportunities, enabling the association to present its message of keeping children out of and away from adult-oriented materials online, where it matters.”
ASACP said the organization uses its presence at events like Bucharest Summit to “educate industry stakeholders while benefiting from its sponsors’ guidance and encouraging continued support.”
“This support enables successes such as ASACP’s free child protection resources, market-specific Best Practices, and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for app and age-restricted website publishers,” ASACP added in the statement. “In addition, ASACP’s CP Reporting Tipline has now processed more than 1.25 million reports to date.”
ASACP also points to the its “Restricted To Adults” (RTA) meta-labeling system as one of its primary innovations in preventing children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and apps.
“One of the association’s top goals while attending events is to encourage the universal adoption of our RTA technology,” Henning explained. “This free and easy-to-implement tool makes a real improvement in the online safety of underage and other sensitive audiences, and being able to explain the details to a wide range of top management and technical personnel is an invaluable aid.”
Henning said another of ASACP’s goals in attending the Bucharest Summit is to “raise awareness of ASACP’s new Content Creator membership opportunity.”
“It is a perfect venue for this vital initiative, as it draws a broad international entourage of models and digital artists who are ready to take the next step as business professionals on their content creation journey,” Henning said of Bucharest Summit.
ASACP also noted that the organization’s Travel Sponsor, DialXS, is “generously underwriting Henning’s airfare and hotel accommodations in the venue city of Bucharest, providing much-needed assistance to the association’s international outreach efforts.”
“We are grateful to DialXS for enabling our global outreach,” Henning said. “Without their much-needed support, our one-on-one facetime with international business owners, front line operators, and other stakeholders would be extremely limited. We also appreciate the insights and guidance the association receives from this experienced company.”
