Reception
What’s the conference all about?
Meet the fact-checking community in Europe and learn first-hand about the challenges and wins of fact-checkers across the continent. We’ll discuss key issues affecting our work, and engage with key players across the fact-checking community, from platforms and policymakers. Plus, there will be plenty of networking!
Mis- and dis- information is on the rise and fact-checkers stand stronger together against its spread when we collaborate with each other and with those who are invested in our work. This is an opportunity for stakeholders in fact-checking to come together for a day of community building and knowledge sharing.
