The tenth edition of the International Journalism Festival will take place in Perugia Italy from 06 to 10 April 2016. All festival sessions will be free entry for all attendees, without any need for registration.
The festival programme has grown in depth and quality year by year since the first edition in 2007. We have set ourselves the objective of making the 2016 programme the best yet. There would be no better way of celebrating our tenth anniversary.

For reference, here are some numbers for the 2015 International Journalism Festival:
> 279 sessions in the 5-day programme, many with simultaneous translation. See the 2015 English-language festival brochure in flip format
> 623 speakers from 34 different countries
> live streaming of all sessions in 10 different venues
> 35,000 visualisations of festival videos on the festival YouTube channel, a total of 363,000 minutes during the 5 days of the festival. All 2015 festival videos are available for viewing, embedded session by session in the 2015 festival programme
> 170,000 visits to the festival website
> 420,000 visualisations of the festival Facebook page, with 15,000 likes, comments and shares during the 5 days of the festival
> large attendee flows. The number of festival attendees is unclear because the festival does not sell tickets and does not require attendee registration. All festival sessions are free entry. We estimate more than 50,000 total attendee presences over the 5 days of the festival, by simply summing the approximate number of attendees at each of the 279 sessions. Please note that this estimate naturally includes attendees participating in more than one session
> 251 volunteers from 22 different countries
> #ijf15 twitter dashboard and #ijf15 social network analysis. The total number of #ijf15 tweets was more than 55,000 during the 5 days of the festival, with more than 11,000 different people tweeting #ijf15
