Speakers

The Global Investigative Journalism Conference — designed by journalists for journalists — is famous for its focus on practical, advanced reporting techniques.

Our line-up of speakers will feature the best in the business — top journalism award winners, pioneers of data journalism, and fearless investigators who have exposed corruption and abuses of power almost everywhere. We’ll have experts on following the money, online searches, cross-border reporting, and satellite imagery. Top podcast producers and documentary directors. Specialists in safety and security, media law, and fundraising.
