According to the latest count, there are nearly 400 fact-checking outlets worldwide. About a third of them are attending our ninth annual Global Fact in Oslo, Norway, this week. 

With more than 500 in-person registrants and hundreds more virtual participants, this year’s Global Fact is our biggest gathering yet. Anne Applebaum, Patrícia Campos Mello, Joan Donovan, Jane Lytvynenko, Peter McIndoe, Craig Silverman and 120+ speakers from 40+ countries will discuss the state of fact-checking over four high-energy days.

Join us online (tickets are still available for $100!) to have robust conversations surrounding the critical role facts play in society, discuss best practices with the industry’s brightest minds, and spark meaningful discourse that improves public debate and connection. 

Together, we’ll address misinformation on a global scale.
