Initiate is an annual hackathon and working session aimed at tangibly moving industry forward in its technical capacity to combat OCSEA. During the event, participants spend much of their time coding (if technical) or engaging in facilitated workshops (if non-technical). We'll also have opportunities for networking and hear lightning talks from peers across the industry.
The Research Convening is a full-day workshop for TC members and Research Fund grantees to promote online child safety. The event will feature an opening panel introducing the Tech Coalition Safe Online Research Fund and lightning talks by grantees sharing key outcomes and insights. Participants will engage in interactive working sessions to delve into research insights, gaps, and opportunities for collaboration in tackling digital harms to children. The workshop aims to enhance the visibility and applicability of the research and strengthen the wider ecosystem combating OCSEA.
