ICFJ+ will be in Athens this week for the iMEdD International Journalism Forum.

ICFJ+, the International Center for Journalists' new venture launched in partnership with tech powerhouse Code for Africa and systems builder PROTO, will contribute to talks and workshops focused on news influencers, the current state of journalism and more. Team members will also be present at ICFJ+’s booth in the iMedD Media Village to meet and exchange ideas with attendees.

Journalists and media professionals are invited to join these events in person at the iMEdD Forum. All sessions, with the exception of workshops, will also be recorded and shared online after the conference.
