From the 10th to the 12th of November 2026, the African Investigative Journalism Conference will bring journalists, editors, media organisations and leading international experts to Nairobi, Kenya. Now in its 22nd year, the AIJC is the largest gathering of investigative journalists on the African continent.
For the first time in the conference’s history, the event will take place outside South Africa. Hosted in collaboration with the Aga Khan University as well as Wits University and supported by longstanding KAS Media Africa, the move to Nairobi marks an important step in expanding the conference’s continental reach.
The programme will examine the most urgent issues facing investigative journalism today. Sessions and practical workshops will explore artificial intelligence, open-source intelligence, follow-the-money investigations, undercover reporting, whistleblower protection, media sustainability, climate change, health, storytelling, and journalists’ digital, mental and physical safety.
The AIJC 2026 will offer three days of learning, collaboration and exchange for journalists committed to accountability and high-quality investigative reporting across Africa.
