We have over 20 workshop sessions currently being scheduled that will provide skills to develop and expand on advocate and leadership skills in community-based advocacy agencies.
This year’s conference will not only be a space to discuss strategies to better serve Oregon’s survivors from the perspective of both violence prevention and sexual/domestic violence intervention. It will also be a space to engage with our communities in a way that prioritizes collective rest and restoration from profound burn-out that is experienced by anti-violence professionals across the field.
We are excited to provide this space to support the education, networking, health and wellness of advocates, directors, and community members.
Monday Evening Reception 4:30pm-6:00pm
Monday after our workshop sessions, we will hold an informal reception space where attendees can connect and enjoy light refreshments.
Alcoholic drinks will be available for sale through Sunriver in this space, it will not be provided by OCADSV.
No RSVP required.

At our Annual Conference, OCADSV hosts a dinner for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) to discuss and celebrate the unique challenges and contributions for and by communities of color in Oregon’s anti-violence community.
This is a closed space for those who identify as BIPOC and is available to those who RSVPed on their registration.

If you cancel your registration with us, that does not cancel your lodging with Sunriver. Their rooms fall under a different refund policy listed below for your convenience.
ACCOMMODATION CANCELLATION
“Due to the location of our Hotel we rarely have “walk-in” guests or short-term reservations, such as is the case in many commercial or city hotels. When a guest arrives late or departs early, our ability to resell these accommodations is minimal. We have already scheduled Hotel employees, and in many cases turned away other guests, so our loss is much greater than the anticipated revenue outlined in this agreement.
The entire length of stay in a guestroom or suite will be billed to the master or individual account for each guest who cancels less than 21 days prior to arrival. A guest who checks in and then departs prior to their confirmed departure date will be charged for the unused balance of their stay. A confirmed guest who fails to arrive on their scheduled arrival date will be considered a “no-show” and their entire reservation will be canceled and charged for the balance of their stay. Any room night charged as such will be credited to Group’s total pickup numbers.”
We have been informed that some folks who have registered for our conference have been receiving messages that say they are from us that seems… off. If you receive a message that you think may not be from us, it is possible that this email you received is either spam, or a scam called “phishing” to collect personal information. They may use different language from one another, but they have some similarities in common in that they:
- Are not from an @ocadsv.org or @classactevents.com email address. All of our official emails will come from either coalition staff or our conference coordinators at Class Act Events
- Are offering a “quote” for some kind of list, roster, or other list with a large amount of individuals’ information.
- Trying to get you to download something or enter personal information
- Have very little or vague information about what they are emailing about. For example one of these emails may read as: “Let me know if you are interested so that I can provide you quote and additional details” with no other context
- Their messaging is not aligned with OCADSV values expressed in our mission statement
If you receive an email like this, most email providers have an option to “mark as spam”, which will then report it to your email service to take care of. This will also flag the email to redirect similar ones to your spam folder. Do not click on any links that you suspect may be from a spam account.
If you aren’t sure if a message you’ve received from us is really from us, feel free to email us at info@ocadsv.org and we will be happy to confirm.
