  • Host a Conference Meetup

    Thank you for signing up to host a News Futures Meetup! The Meetup Fund is open to all News Futures signatories who want to host peer-led gatherings at any conference related to News Futures’ values. You can organize a meetup yourself or connect with others already planning to attend.
  • Here’s how it works:

    • RSVP's: News Futures staff creates the RSVP form. You provide the description and details, and we’ll share the responses with you.
    • Funding support: We’ll cover up to $500 for food, non-alcoholic beverages, and/or gathering space. We expect this should comfortably cover a meetup of up to 40 people.
    • Minimum size: At least 5 people must attend.
    • Official branding: Please use the News Futures name when promoting—these are official NF Meetups.
    • Who can come? Everyone is welcome—both signatories and non-signatories! We encourage attendees to become signatories during or after the event.
  • Should be Empty:
