See you in Riga on 9-10 October 2024!

After the successful #Disinfo2023 in Krakow, our next annual conference is set to take place in Riga, Latvia, on 9-10 October 2024.

We are thrilled to invite you to participate in #Disinfo2024 and to join us in bringing the counter-disinformation community together to exchange, learn and network. Mark your calendars – we anticipate an insightful and engaging experience awaits you – and stay tuned for a comprehensive update on the conference’s schedule, speakers, and workshops, which will be released in the second quarter of 2024. 

#Disinfo2024: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

Practical information about our annual conference is recapped below.

Registration & participation fee
Registrations

Registrations for the conference will open on 27 March 2024.

Registration fee

For the first time, we will introduce a nominal registration fee for the conference, to maintain the quality and independence of the event. In an era where many services claim to be “free” often turning users into the “product”, we strive to align with our ideals of independence and authentic freedom of speech. This approach ensures that our conference reflects our values.

Organising the conference incurs an average expense of about 500 EUR per attendee, covering venue, catering, staff, onsite support, and preparatory work. In our previous free conferences, no-shows have resulted in large unnecessary expenses. We hope this moderate registration fee will limit avoidable losses. Furthermore, we are delighted to announce that this year’s conference will feature even more content, including a third conference track and a movie screening. And, in our opinion, some absolutely fantastic speakers!

The Early Bird registration fee will be 100 EUR (excluding VAT) for civil society members, academics, and journalists, and 150 EUR (excluding VAT) for government and corporate attendees. This fee will increase to respectively 120 EUR and 180 EUR after the initial Early Bird period.

We sincerely hope for your understanding and support in this decision.
