Registration is open for IRE’s DBEI Symposium, which will take place Oct. 21-23 with limited in-person attendance in Baltimore, Maryland, and unlimited attendance online.
The hybrid event will be IRE’s first in-person training event since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020. It also will be IRE’s first event focused solely on diversity and equity issues.
The symposium will focus on helping journalists with newsroom diversity issues and with investigating inequality in their communities, from education and labor to housing and criminal justice.
Other details, travel and hotel information, can be found here.

What is the difference between the in-person and virtual event?
The in-person event will consist of two large ballrooms for panels and demos and five smaller rooms for hands-on classes, conversations, master classes, networking groups and small group discussions. In addition to the programming, there will be a keynote address and luncheon as well as a welcome reception. The keynote speaker will be announced soon!
Virtual attendees will have the opportunity to livestream the two large ballrooms as well as the keynote address. Attendees will have the ability to ask questions during the Q&A through our virtual conference platform. In addition, one of the five smaller rooms will be recorded and made available to attendees post-event. Attendees will also have the opportunity to join various networking sessions specifically for the virtual event.
Both in-person and virtual attendees will have access to all recordings, resources and tipsheets post-event.
What precautions is IRE taking due to COVID-19?
IRE is keeping the health and safety of our members at the forefront of planning the symposium. We have implemented numerous safety protocols to ensure attendee safety.
