LOS ANGELES (Sep. 20, 2025) — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to announce its return to Romania for the AWSummit in Bucharest, from September 8-10, at the Face Convention Center.
A nonprofit association dedicated to enabling and promoting online child safety with 29 years of stellar service to its noble cause and counting, ASACP secures children’s online safety by fostering proactive parental and corporate responsibility. ASACP is supported by a global family of companies, organizations, individuals, and others in its mission of keeping children out of and away from adult entertainment and safe from exposure to age-restricted materials online.
A vital component of the association’s mission is to educate the digital media industry about the importance of online child protection, solutions for improving it, and the factors at play today, as a new wave of age- and identity-verification mandates are coming into force. A primary mechanism for imparting this education and developing dialogues with stakeholders is through attendance at leading industry events.
Next up on the association’s travel itinerary is the AWSummit in Bucharest, where ASACP’s Executive Director, Tim Henning, and Fundraising Director, Michelle Marriott, will attend and be available for meetings with new and established sponsors alike.
“AWSummit’s Bucharest event provides the association with a unique opportunity to reach business operators and owners that we might otherwise not be able to,” said Henning. “At the crossroads of Europe, the summit unites East and West for common business goals — and with ASACP’s guidance, a chief goal is the protection of children from online harms.”
AWSummit is a leading conference for affiliates and creators that transforms opportunities into success. ASACP’s newest In-Kind Media Sponsor, AWSummit, has organized top-tier B2B conferences, international side events, and custom corporate events since 2014, and enjoys a proven track record.
Specializing in designing high-impact experiences that help businesses expand their networks to achieve growth, AWSummit has attracted more than 20,000 industry professionals over the past decade, helping close thousands of deals that have driven millions in revenue growth. Designed as a multi-vertical hub for sharing ideas, knowledge, and building business relationships over three days, AWSummit offers unique keynote speeches, workshops, mastermind sessions, an exciting expo, and fantastic networking events.
The conference covers a wide range of niches and industries, from payment processing and cryptocurrency to nutra and e-commerce, dating, iGaming, live cam and fan sites, affiliate marketing, lead generation, and more, with products and services to boost all attendees’ revenue streams.
AWSummit helps affiliates and content creators by providing opportunities to find top-converting promotions, meet leading affiliate managers and partners in person, and connect with prominent advertisers and networks in their niche. Additionally, affiliates and content creators can learn how to incorporate AI into their work, gain insights from top creators on the types of content that convert best and receive valuable tips and tricks for growing their profiles and social media channels.
“At AWSummit, you can share and get knowledge from top affiliates about the challenges and solutions related to different traffic sources and find new ways to optimize and scale your affiliate business,” said an event spokesperson. “While as a content creator, you’ll have the opportunity to exchange experiences with other models and influencers, discover the best platforms for collaboration, and explore new ways to monetize your content.”
AWSummit provides companies of all sizes with multiple opportunities to grow their business, find new traffic sources, connect with content creators, and access solutions for marketing, technology, and partnerships.
Part of ASACP’s goal at these events is to raise awareness of its free child protection resources for parents and industry operators, including a broad range of Best Practices tailored to specific market segments and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for content creators and website and app publishers. These vital tools empower companies of all sizes to prevent minors and sensitive viewers from accessing age-restricted materials.
“These tools are only possible through the continued support of ASACP’s donors,” Henning explained. “The association’s presence at events such as AWSummit enables us to spread the word about the resources we offer and the benefits they provide, as well as boost our fundraising efforts to continue to develop and deploy these tools.”
Among ASACP’s most notable achievements are its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system, which prevents children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and apps, and its CSAM Reporting Tipline, which has received and processed more than 1.6 million reports since its inception and continues to serve as a vital global resource.
ASACP’s Exclusive Travel Sponsor, DialXS, is generously underwriting Henning’s airfare to the venue city of Bucharest, providing the association with the assistance it needs to carry out its international outreach efforts.
“Positioned at the midpoint of our annual European tour, the AWSummit in Bucharest is set to be a highlight of the association’s outreach on the continent, and a key part of our fundraising efforts,” Henning added. “Online child protection is a mission that takes many caring companies and people to push forward. With the help of those whom we will meet in Bucharest, that goal is one step closer to reality.”
