About this event
The Global Investigative Journalism Conference is the world’s largest international gathering of investigative journalists. The conference features training on the latest tools and techniques, cutting-edge workshops, and extensive networking and brainstorming sessions. In 2025, the conference will be held for the first time in Asia — in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The 2025 Global Investigative Journalism Conference (#GIJC25) is brought to you by the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN), and Malaysiakini.
We expect more than 1,500 journalists to attend over 150 expert panels, workshops, and networking sessions. The conference is a chance to learn from the best in the business — winners of the Pulitzer Prize and other top awards, pioneers of data journalism, and fearless investigators who have exposed corruption and abuses of power almost everywhere.
The #GIJC25 website will answer your questions on program, accommodation, transport, and more.
The conference fee includes full access to all panels, workshops, coffee breaks, and lunches during conference days, a cocktail reception, and a gala dinner.
To attend #GIJC25, you must be a professional journalist or an employee of a nonprofit, NGO, or educational organization, or its equivalent, that actively works in support of investigative reporting and related data journalism. For security reasons, all registrations will be reviewed and verified to determine eligibility. Non-journalists can request for approval to attend by writing to gijc25@gijn.org.
