2022 IPI World Congress - HYBRID

Right now, we find our world and our communities once again divided between democracy and authoritarianism. Only free and independent journalism can meet the challenge of the moment.

At the 2022 IPI World Congress, we’re more than a conference. We’re a movement for journalism. For two-and-a-half days, we’ll put journalism at the center of the world, back where IPI first started in 1950 at Columbia University in New York.

For journalism to thrive it needs resilience, collaboration, and the confidence to make a difference. Key themes of the 2022 IPI World Congress include:

• Smart journalism you can trust: The best of journalism in the (dis)information age.
• Resilience and rights: The fight for democracy and press freedom globally.
• Sustainable media serving our communities: Engaging our audiences and harnessing the opportunities of technology.
• Think local, act global: Featuring news leaders from around the world sharing how they are rethinking everything about what local journalism is and can be.

The 2022 World Congress will run from September 8 to 10 as a truly global and hybrid event.

We’ll debate, present, mentor; we’ll share our ideas, passions, failures, and stories in discussions, presentations, masterclasses, and workshops – one-on-one, on stage, and over lunch and dinner.
