TSPA Meet & Greet: The Evolution of T&S in Dublin

Afterwards, everyone is invited to light refreshments.

This event is open to trust and safety professionals, including nonmembers.

Registration deadline is May 27, 2022.

Reading Between the Reporting Lines: Org Structures for Trust and Safety Teams

This TSPA members only panel will explore an under-discussed but critically important topic: where Trust & Safety fits within a company’s overall organizational structure and how it impacts the team’s effectiveness, culture, and the company’s products and services. Depending on the company, T&S may sit within the Product team, the Legal team, Operations team, Information Security team, or elsewhere. The panel will discuss various models of how T&S is positioned within a company, the trade-offs of different organizational choices, and factors that may influence the decision to place a T&S team in a particular reporting line.

Meet You In San Francisco: TSPA Meet & Greet

Please join us for the next in-person TSPA San Francisco meet and greet event at the fun and pet-friendly Spark Social venue in their signature Double-Decker bus. The venue has many food trucks that can meet a variety of dietary needs. Food and drink tickets will be provided to each individual at the event. Because space is limited, this TSPA-members-only event is restricted to registered guests. Contact us at contact@tspa.org for the registration access code.

So, You Wanna Work in Trust and Safety in EMEA?

The trust and safety field has grown dramatically over the past few years and technology companies are hiring for trust and safety roles in greater numbers than before. However, because trust and safety is still a relatively new field, titles and roles are called different things across different companies, required skill level and experience are not as transparent or clear, and if job applicants don’t have experience in tech or in trust and safety, it can be an intimidating process. Also, would you even like your job if you get hired? What’s it actually like to work in trust and safety? In this panel discussion, we’re going to focus on answering your basic T&S hiring questions, specifically for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region.

Trust & Safety Career AMA: Becoming a Trust & Safety Consultant

Join us for an AMA (ask me anything) with 3 trust and safety practitioners who have dabbled or fully transitioned into trust and safety consultation. This members-only event will be an intimate discussion exploring questions like: How do I start consulting? How do I set a rate? And other relevant questions.

Not interested in consulting yourself? This is also a great session to listen in on if you want to hire T&S consultants! You’ll learn more about the consultation process and get a good sense of what questions to ask in your search process.

The QA Q&A

Google’s Trust & Safety recently published a Whitepaper on Quality Assurance in Spam, Fraud, and Abuse Fighting. In the whitepaper, Google’s Scaled Ops Quality team discusses its learnings to date in this space and provides insight into how they try to most effectively and efficiently evaluate the quality of manual reviews performed by trust and safety agents, including the quality process, metrics, and sampling.

During this member presentation and roundtable discussion, the authors of the paper will present a high-level overview of its content. Afterwards, the participants can ask questions (to the authors and each other), share their own learnings and wins, and have a discussion on quality assurance with fellow practitioners.

This TSPA member presentation and discussion is limited for professionals who work on trust and safety quality assurance. If you’d like to participate, please contact us with an explanation of why you’d like to attend.
