See FULL SCHEDULE.

In recognition of Sunshine Week, the University of Florida Brechner Freedom of Information Project, MuckRock, and the National Freedom of Information Coalition are organizing the second-annual in-person conference to find solutions to pressing problems in freedom of information across all disciplinary and geographic boundaries – local, state, federal and global!

We are bringing together journalists, record custodians, policy makers, historians, state FOI coalitions, librarians, academics, civil society nonprofit groups, commercial data providers, and all other constituencies who care about government transparency. Check out 2025’s Sunshine Fest here.

See a schedule, with topics (to be updated as more speakers are confirmed).

To register, visit our EventBrite page! Cost is $50, limited to 200 people.
