The WCJ’s African Investigative Journalism Conference is now accepting session and speaker proposals for this year’s 22nd edition, taking place at the Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communications in Nairobi, Kenya from 10 – 12 November 2026.

To ensure we present the most interesting, urgent work and journalists on the continent, we invite you to suggest speakers, panels, themes or training that would elevate the conference this year.

Do you have something that needs to be shared with your colleagues? Do you have a topic, or some particular training that you think would enhance the conference? Do you have an idea for a discussion that belongs on the programme?

Help shape the conference by submitting proposals by 5 April 2026.
