In-Person Event
Idaho Safety & Resilience Conference
TRAUMA-INFORMED, VICTIM-CENTERED TRAINING, BEST PRACTICES, AND TIMELY ADDRESSING EMERGING TRENDS


Intro
The Idaho Council on Domestic Violence & Victim Assistance (ICDVVA) and Building Hope Today are proud to partner on the 2025 Safety & Resilience Conference!
Description
The conference brings together multidisciplinary team professionals working in the areas of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, stalking, and human trafficking to share knowledge and data and facilitate collaborations that will strengthen systems and enhance services for victims of crime in Idaho.
Attendance is capped at 500 people – Sign up fast!
The conference focuses on tactical training and practice, as opposed to being academic in nature.
The conference planning committee is committed to including diverse participation and perspectives to provide insights and highlight innovative approaches to meet the needs of crime victims and the agencies and systems providing victim services.
Location & Dates
The Riverside Hotel (2900 W Chinden Blvd, Garden City, ID 83714).
Tuesday, June 3, and Wednesday, June 4, from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm (Mountain Time) each day.
COST
Registration
$125 per person for the 2-day conference. The cost includes lunch and snacks each day. Registration is capped at the first 500 people. (Note: $100 Early-Bird registration extended to/ended April 18).
Refunds
Refunds, minus the payment processing fee, will be allowed up to 30 days before the event. Registrations may be transferred after this time but cannot be refunded as we must commit attendee numbers to The Riverside Hotel.
Online Payment Processing Fee Vs. Checks
If paying online, there is a 2.2% + $0.30 per transaction payment processing fee (e.g., $100 = $102.56).
To avoid the fee, please contact faye@buildinghopetoday.org, and she will send you a paper registration form and invoice to pay by check.
