Join us at the 2024 Outrider Nuclear Reporting Summit

Public awareness about nuclear threats has never been more vital. We'll convene journalists at the nexus of health, climate, and national security to deepen their knowledge about how these issues are interconnected in the new nuclear landscape. Space is limited, so please apply now to attend.

December 5-6, 2024KFF's Barbara Jordan Conference Center, Washington, D.C.

The Outrider Nuclear Reporting Summit will gather media practitioners, national security experts, policymakers, and scientists. This free, two-day conference and training will focus on how nuclear weapons issues intersect with artificial intelligence, community health, climate change, local economies, and the environment. A complete program schedule will be available later this year.
