VAWnet Event Calendar

This conference will identify opportunities to support all members of families impacted by intimate partner violence (IPV).

Join policymakers, technologists, advocates, researchers, investors, survivors, and lived-experience experts for a global convening on how technology can be designed, deployed, and governed to prevent violence, support survivors, and protect vulnerable communities.

Get ready to bring your passion for advocacy to NOVA52 in 2026! NOVA’s 52nd Annual Training Event is your chance to learn, connect, and recharge alongside advocates from across the country.

This unique training will focus on the intersection of technology and domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. We will explore some of the ways technology is still evolving, including in our own use as agencies, as well as other intersections of technology and intimate partner violence. We’ll look at understanding and accessing technology abuse, safety planning, intimate image abuse, stalkerware, online data, and technology facilitated advocacy.

The National Sexual Assault Conference® (NSAC) brings together over 2,000 advocates committed to ending sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. This annual event is filled with opportunities to advance learning, develop skills, share information, build relationships, and increase our capacity to assert the dignity of all people. Together at NSAC, we build strong partnerships and strategies that strengthen our work to end sexual violence. Respect Together will host NSAC 2026 in Washington, D.C., August 19-21, 2026.

The conference theme is Rooted and Reimagined. Join us as we honor our families, relationships, and communities, while we reimagine how increasing prevention initiatives, ending sexual assault, and uplifting each other can support survivors and create a stronger California. Activists and advocates throughout California will explore the linkages between eradicating oppression and ending sexual violence at VALOR’s 2026 Statewide Conference.
