IRE26 early-bird extended!

It's not too late to join IRE & NICAR for our annual investigative journalism conference - in National Harbor, Maryland (just outside of D.C.!). The early-bird rate has just been extended to May 15, so hurry before it's too late!

The IRE Conference is about all things investigative, data, storytelling, public records, networking, finding old friends and new and so much more! All packed into three and a half days of take-home tips, hands-on training, and more new friends than you can count.

Applications are now open for the IRE 2026 mentor program

The deadline to apply is Sunday, May 31.
