A note on “tracks”:

Participants are not required to register in or follow a specific track, and many people choose to mix and match. These tracks are simply to offer guidance to those who may be wondering where to go. 

- Survivor Track: for people who self-identify as survivors, whether or not they work professionally in the field 

- Advocacy Track: for people who work in programs providing advocacy services. "Advanced Advocacy" tracks assume that attendees have had a minimum of 40 hours of basic advocacy training and may not cover definitions helpful to those who are new to the work.

- Provider Track: for people who work in community-based or systems-based service provider organizations like community-based non-profits or criminal/legal system 

The SAAM Conference topics and agenda were informed by the Sexual Violence Community Action Board, Sexual Assault Advisory Council (SAAC) and the Conference Planning Committee by survey.
