SPECTRUM is the nation’s largest education conference devoted to preventing and responding to sexual and interpersonal violence against members of the LGBTQI+ community. It provides
cutting-edge training to enhance the knowledge and skills of attendees through training to faculty, staff, law enforcement, medical professionals, and community and state agency service providers to turn the dial on sexual and interpersonal violence against
sexual and gender minorities, while providing the most trauma-informed, and culturally-competent response and care when incidents do occur.
