About this event

The Russia-Ukraine war is demonstrating once again the centrality of information warfare to modern-day geopolitics and introducing new tactics we can expect to see foreign and domestic actors deploy in the U.S. to affect our 2022 elections. Meanwhile, experts and practitioners across the U.S. are testing new approaches to understand and counter the disinformation we expect to see around issues, candidates, and voting processes and to keep communities well-informed.

Join DFN and disinformation experts to explore key questions related to the (dis)information landscape this year: What types of disinformation are we most likely to see related to this year’s election? How is this disinformation originated and spread? How can we identify when disinformation is spreading organically vs. through coordinated strategies? What strategies can help limit its reach and impact and counter with accurate information instead?
