The Jacksonville Women’s Network (JWN) cordially invites WBO members to participate in its 2026 Speaker’s Forum on Thursday, February 26, 2026, at the Florida Blue Conference Center. The evening’s program will focus on an extremely difficult topic: human trafficking happening right here in Northeast Florida. Our goal is to amplify awareness by providing honest, local insight and practical resources to help attendees better understand this critical issue and the role each of us can play. Expect candid conversations that are locally grounded, thoughtfully led, and focused on education and awareness—rooted in the belief that informed communities are stronger communities.

Local Community Changemakers—women and men working on the front lines of anti-human trafficking efforts—will be seated throughout the ballroom to help guide informed discussions about the realities unfolding in our community. These leaders from government, law enforcement, nonprofits, and service organizations will share firsthand insight into this critical issue over dinner.

The evening will culminate as we welcome Demi-Leigh Tebow—bestselling author, entrepreneur, former Miss Universe (2017), and global advocate for women and children—to the main stage for a moderated keynote conversation. Her perspective is deeply personal, shaped by lived experience, including surviving a violent carjacking in South Africa. She will also share the work of her family’s foundation and its active involvement in anti-human trafficking initiatives, including the Northeast Florida INTERCEPT Task Force and Her Song, a national nonprofit headquartered here in Jacksonville.

This is our most anticipated event of the year—and the only one we open to the public. We invite you to join members of the Jacksonville Women’s Network, honored guests, and Community Changemakers from across the region for an evening of purpose, education, and heightened awareness around human trafficking.
