In this episode of GatherGeeks, BizBash C.E.O. David Adler and editor in chief Beth Kormanik hear from Andrea Boulden, senior manager of the TD Wealth event team in Toronto, and a board member of Meeting Professionals Against Human Trafficking. She discusses what role the event and hospitality industry can play in the fight against sex trafficking, ranging from knowing the signs to look for to encouraging hotel partners to incorporate training.
