ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The Crimes Against Children Conference (CACC), hosted by the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center, provides cutting-edge training to the professionals who protect children from abuse and exploitation. Each year, thousands of investigators, prosecutors, advocates, medical providers, and mental health professionals come together to strengthen their skills, deepen their knowledge, and build safer communities for children.
3
WHY PARTNER WITH US? Sponsoring CACC is more than supporting an event — it is a direct investment in child safety and in the professionals who protect them. CACC brings together the professionals who step in at the most critical moments of a child’s life. When they are well trained, children feel safer, cases move forward more effectively, and future harm is prevented. Your partnership ensures these professionals receive the highestquality, evidence-based, traumainformed training — strengthening systems and improving outcomes for children who may never know your name but will feel your impact.
4
And while the benefit to children is profound, your sponsorship also strengthens your organization’s story. It aligns your brand with a mission that resonates deeply with employees, customers, and communities and signals a visible commitment to child safety, corporate responsibility, and to supporting the people who do some of the hardest, most essential work in the world. Your support equips responders to show up with confidence, compassion, and the skill to make the safest decisions for children.
WHY IT MATTERS? If your organization is interested in the health and safety of children or in marketing to or training law enforcement, child protective services personnel, prosecutors, and other professionals involved in protecting and serving children, your participation in this internationally recognized event is a MUST. Your sponsorship connects your organization with the nation’s leading child-protection professionals — and signals to the field, your employees, and the families you serve that you stand firmly for child safety, community well-being, and corporate responsibility. THE IMPACT YOU HELP MAKE POSSIBLE Sponsors don’t just support a conference — they strengthen the entire ecosystem that protects kids. Your partnership gives frontline professionals the tools, clarity, and hope they need to keep showing up for children every day.
THANK YOU for another smoothly run, extremely inspiring year of CACC! My team learned so much, regardless of whether they were conference veterans or first-timers.

HOW YOUR SUPPORT STRENGTHENS CHILD PROTECTION
TRAINING THAT ELEVATES FRONTLINE RESPONSE
BETTER CARE, HEALING, AND SAFETY FOR CHILDREN
Your support equips investigators, advocates, medical providers, and digital safety teams with the skills they need to identify abuse earlier, gather stronger evidence, and make decisions that lead to safer outcomes for children.
CACC training improves how professionals interview children, respond to families in crisis, reduce harm, and support healing —helping ensure every child is met with skill, steadiness, and compassion.
STRONGER, MORE COORDINATED SYSTEMS Sponsors make it possible for multidisciplinary teams to learn together, strengthen crossagency coordination, and build the collective capacity needed to protect children in every community they serve.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Please review our standard sponsor packages. If you don't see something that fits your needs we will make every effort to negotiate a mutually beneficial package to meet your marketing and budget goals. Should you desire to have additional representatives from your organization attend outside of the complimentary registrations included in your package, this price can be negotiated based on the number of additional attendees and sponsorship level. The cost includes all additional benefits provided to VIPs. Should you not need all of the complimentary registrations in your package, you may convert these to attendee scholarships for those who could not otherwise attend. Exhibit booths are not included in sponsorship packages. Please let us know if you would like one, and we will connect you with the appropriate contact on the conference team. Sponsors are responsible for reserving and paying for their OWN HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS. We will secure hotel blocks for all sponsor levels as part of the package benefits. Each sponsor's point of contact will be provided with the registration link and access to the sponsor hotel block to share with those attending from your organization via the Sponsor Portal. Those who desire smaller dollar commitments are encouraged to participate as an exhibitor. *Pricing is subject to change.

THANK YOU Thank you for standing with the professionals who protect children. Your partnership equips them with the training, tools, and steadiness they need to respond with clarity and compassion in the hardest moments of a child’s life. It strengthens investigations, improves coordinated response, and expands access to life-saving skills in communities of every size — rural, urban, Tribal, and everywhere in between. The impact of your support reaches far beyond the conference — into every interview conducted with greater care, every investigation handled with more precision, and every child who finds safety sooner because a trained professional knew what to do. Thank you for believing in these professionals. Thank you for believing in children. And thank you for choosing to be part of the community that protects them.
