MisinfoCon Kyiv Recap

Hello again from the MisinfoCon Kyiv team!

MisinfoCon 3.0 was simply terrific. With a packed house over two days, we collectively discussed the perils of— and solutions to — misinformation and disinformation, particularly with regards to the challenges being faced in Eastern Europe. And to top it all off, the Arkady Babchenko story broke right in the middle of our conference. What timing.

Please check out the great ideas/presentations made by our breakout groups at the end of our conference. There are some awesome ideas in there that have real potential in terms of feasibility and growth.

Thank you to all of our attendees, speakers and panelists — we couldn’t have done it without you. And, of course, a huge thanks to the stellar IREX team, who proved to be tremendous partners.

Last but not least, you can find notes from the days here.

Photos!

You can find a rad collection of photos here and here. They capture the excitement that was in the air quite well.

Videos!

Take a look at this terrific video of the event our friends over at IREX put together.

And our “lightning talk” presenters — Renee Hobbs, Dan Shefet and Clare Melford — were highly informative. Videos of their talk will be available shortly. Stay tuned! We’ll also adding these to the MisinfoCon Medium collection shortly.

Mark your calendars!

Save the date for MisinfoCon 4.0, happening on August 6th and 7th in Washington, DC. Details to come very shortly.
