The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to announce its return to Prague, Czech Republic, for the newest installment of the TES Affiliate Conferences, set for September 12-15, at the widely renowned Vienna House Diplomat Hotel.

Founded in 1996, ASACP spearheads the global fight to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented entertainment and other age-restricted materials online.

An award-winning nonprofit organization supported by its sponsors and members, ASACP works with numerous international businesses, law enforcement agencies, and digital media industry stakeholders to wage its ongoing fight against child exploitation and sexual abuse online. A vital part of the association’s mission is to educate the industry about the importance of online child protection, solutions for improving it, and the factors at play today, as a wave of age- and identity-verification mandates is coming into force. A primary means for imparting this education and for developing dialogues is through attendance at leading industry events.

Founded in 2009, TES Affiliate Conferences is Europe’s largest online industry event. It unites professionals from the adult entertainment industry, e-commerce, financials, gaming, gambling, dating, forex, health, nutraceuticals, and more for an intensive three-day networking extravaganza.

“From the onset, TES Affiliate Conferences was intent on creating a great networking experience for its attendees and delegates,” an event spokesperson said. “In our high-tech world, it is still of supreme importance that excellent interpersonal relationships are developed and maintained as the cornerstones of building a successful business.”

In addition to its complimentary sponsor status, TES has provided the association with a table at the event’s Meet Market, allowing ASACP to engage with business owners and operators face-to-face.

TES has also graciously underwritten ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning and Fundraising Director Michelle Marriott’s admission and accommodations.

For its part, the association supports TES and its leadership in boosting the industry’s professionalism and is grateful for the assistance it receives from TES’ promoters.

“By educating website operators, app publishers, and other stakeholders about the latest business standards and practices for legal compliance, especially when user-generated content is involved, we strengthen the fight to protect children online,” Henning said. “TES has long provided the association an unparalleled opportunity to reach the most diverse range of businesses and influencers imaginable. It is vital to ASACP’s European outreach and our educational and fundraising efforts.”

ASACP’s Exclusive Travel Sponsor, DialXS, is generously underwriting Henning’s airfare to and from TES’s venue city of Prague, providing the association with the assistance it needs to carry out its international outreach efforts.

“Thanks to DialXS and the promoters of the TES Affiliate Conferences, ASACP will once again meet in person with top business leaders as well as newcomers to the industry across a range of relevant market segments,” Henning added. “It is the perfect opportunity to deliver the association’s message of keeping children out of and away from adult-oriented entertainment, and we strongly encourage everyone to meet with us in Prague.”

Part of ASACP’s goal at these events is to raise awareness of its free child protection resources for parents and industry operators, including a broad range of Best Practices tailored to specific market segments and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for content creators and website and app publishers. These vital tools empower companies of all sizes to prevent minors and sensitive viewers from accessing age-restricted materials — but these tools are only possible through the continued support of ASACP’s donors.

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 more than 1.6 million reports since its inception and continues to serve as a vital global resource.

“ASACP provides the tools and know-how for protecting children online,” Henning concluded. “After that, it takes the commitment and support of stakeholders to see the process through, as we move the industry towards a more prosperous future that is safer for children and more secure for adults. With the help of events such as TES, our success is all but guaranteed.”
