Detroit is known around the world as the Motor City—the place where innovators like Henry Ford and the Dodge Brothers helped put the world on wheels and spark a movement in modern transportation.

As we gather in 2026 under the theme A Mission in Motion, Detroit provides the perfect backdrop. Just as this city powered innovation that moved the world forward, our community continues to advance the prevention of sexual harm through research, collaboration, and action. Join us as we keep our mission moving—together.
