Where news for good gets better
INN Days is the leading conference for nonprofit news leaders, funders, and collaborators.
The conference brings together leaders across the nonprofit news field to highlight examples, share practical skills, and host solutions-focused conversations on the challenges and opportunities to fund and increase access to quality news and information that connects communities, holds the powerful accountable and strengthens our democracy.
INN Days is a dedicated space for you to step back from day-to-day operations and dive deep into action items and new ideas to help you make progress on longer-term goals and strategies.
