About the Conference
The Community Violence Intervention Conference is the largest convening exclusively dedicated to CVI in the country, attracting more than 800 experts—both national and international—to discuss the impact of this lifesaving work. The goal of the conference is to bring together leading experts, advocates, and practitioners to share insights, struggles, and opportunities in a communal space devoted to advancing the field of community violence intervention.
At Giffords Center for Violence Intervention, we uplift the transformative work of community organizations and the strategies that break cycles of violence. The 2024 CVI Conference will be an invaluable opportunity for people committed to saving lives from community violence to come together, share best practices, and advocate for change.
Background
Community violence is a daily tragedy in neighborhoods across the country, and it’s disproportionately experienced by communities of color. Yet all too often, community violence—and some of its most successful solutions—fails to make the headlines or play a role in national debates about public safety.
Every person should be able to live, work, and play free from the threat of gun violence, and elevating CVI strategies is a key way to make that a reality. The 2024 Community Violence Intervention Conference provides a dedicated, cooperative environment to help the people building safer communities come together and exchange ideas.
Participants
Collaboration is a key part of the CVI movement. Every community is unique and available resources vary from city to city, making it crucial for those invested in violence intervention to have a dedicated time and place to share experiences and best practices.
With this in mind, we’ve designed the Community Violence Intervention Conference to appeal to a range of stakeholders and disciplines. The conference will feature more than 500 subject-matter experts from across the country, and approximately 100 from abroad. Through a range of activities—including trainings, workshops, panel discussions, and more—we aim to provide a collaborative and informative environment for all.
Stakeholders include:
- Survivors of Violence
- Intervention/Prevention Practitioners
- Researchers
- Policy Experts
- Advocates
- Frontline Workers
Disciplines include:
- Criminal Justice
- Social Work
- Public Policy
- Law Enforcement
- Nonprofits
- Philanthropy
