Hospitality Technology Leaders Unite to Support the Fight Against Human Trafficking During HITEC 2026

All proceeds from the evening will benefit Safe House Project, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to combating human trafficking by increasing victim identification, providing emergency services, expanding access to safe housing and supporting survivor recovery.

This event gives us a chance to do all of that while supporting a cause that matters deeply to many of us. We’re grateful to partner with RUCKUS Networks and Safe House Project to turn an evening of great conversations, friendly competition and community into meaningful support for survivors.”

The Charity Poker Night will offer attendees an evening of networking, friendly competition and community while supporting an important cause. Guests can participate as poker players or attend as supporters. Attendees are encouraged to make a minimum $50 donation to Safe House Project through the event page to receive event details.
