Stage & Summit
Two editions. One mission: to bring the future of journalism to Central and Eastern Europe.
"Before there was a Klub, before there was a Festival, there was a conference. In 2018 and 2019, Outriders gathered journalists, editors, and storytellers from across the world in Warsaw — and gave them a room to say what the industry needed to hear."
