GlobalFact
Engage with the global fact-checking community
Presented by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at Poynter, GlobalFact is the world’s largest and most impactful summit for professional fact-checking. Every year, fact-checkers come together to address industry-wide challenges, exchange best practices and build collaborative solutions to improve our shared information ecosystem.
Each day of the summit features keynote presentations, interactive learning sessions and networking events to help fact-checkers build business operations, audiences and impact. Discussions are centered on universal challenges fact-checkers face today, such as navigating artificial intelligence, upholding information integrity and investigating online disinformation campaigns.
