Look for IRE Conference buttons
At the registration desk: All attendees can pick up an #IRE17 button when checking in.
At the Tipsheets & Reprints table: To make networking a little easier, we made special buttons for job hunters and news organizations that are hiring. First-time attendees can wear a special button inspired by Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold's investigation into Donald Trump's charities.
In the hands-on classrooms (Pinnacle Peak): Attend a hands-on class and you'll earn a data journalist sheriff's badge button.
At sales: Show your support for IRE. Make a donation to IRE while you're in Phoenix, and then swing by sales to pick up an investigator button.
Tipsheets and presentations
Speakers: Please send your tipsheets and other presentation materials to tipsheets@ire.org so we can add them to the IRE website.
