About The Event

TSPA Regional Summits are one day conferences dedicated to trust and safety professionals who are responsible for the challenging work of keeping our platforms and communities safe. Unlike the global nature of TrustCon programming, summits are focused on regional priorities. Summits support TSPA’s vision to create and foster a global community of practice among trust and safety professionals by centering each region’s concerns, priorities, diversity, and culture.

APAC Summit Theme

The theme for this year's summit is, "APAC Summit 2023: Shaping the Future," The Programming Committee will prioritize three main subcategories within this theme, so please propose sessions that fit one of these three themes. Note that the examples listed after each theme are meant to provide guidance; you are welcome to submit proposals similar to those examples or on any other topic as long as it fits within the theme. See more about submission types here. 

• Wellness of Trust & Safety Practitioners. Sessions within this theme should address the complexities of wellness for trust and safety practitioners, in particular those who are exposed to graphic content through their work protecting online communities. Examples of sessions within this topic might include best practices, localizing wellness recommendations, and hearing from practitioners across different roles on this topic.  
   
• Innovation & Thought Leadership. Sessions within this theme should explore practice and leadership from APAC practitioners. Sessions in this category may discuss topics like career growth, influencing change, and innovative approaches to trust and safety that advance the profession overall.
   
• Trust & Safety in APAC. Proposals for topics within this theme should focus on issues within trust and safety that are specific to APAC, and can be applied globally. This could include policy, regulation, cultural considerations, or ideas growing within APAC that may inspire global change.
