Dear Friends,

Please find below an invite to an Atlantic Council event this Thursday,
June 29, on disinformation. NDI is partnering with the Atlantic Council,
Stanford University, the Oxford Internet Institute, and the Konrad Adenauer
Foundation on  #DisinfoWeek <http://disinfoweek.org/>, of which this is a
part.  Other events have included briefings on a set of country case
studies that Oxford University conducted on disinformation and
computational propaganda, and a Digital Disinformation Forum that NDI is
co-hosting at Stanford.

Secretary Albright will deliver keynote remarks at the June 29 event. I
thought you might find this event timely, given the news of Russian
influence, disinformation and "fake news." Please use the link below to
RSVP.

All the best,

James

On June 29, the Atlantic Council and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung will host
a high level conference in DC featuring  panels on the threat of Russian
influence in Europe, the next frontier in digital disinformation, and how
to strike back.

International media coverage of “fake news” in the 2016 US presidential
election has dramatically increased international attention on the role of
digital disinformation in elections. While attention has focused on the
influence of Russia’s propaganda efforts in the US and Europe, the problem
is much broader. Disinformation is a global challenge that will require new
coalitions, tools, and strategies to address it.

*#DisinfoWeek *is a week long set of strategic dialogues on how to
collectively address the global challenge of disinformation. The conference
will convene both US and European policymakers, tech companies, civil
society, and members of think tanks, academia, and media.
