The 2018 Programme
The Agenda: Harnessing the power of trust
Technology has given us access to more knowledge than ever before and is empowering employees, investors and consumers alike to shape the values and priorities of those they support. However, transparency is also eating away at our confidence in institutions, from political organisations and corporations to the media and charities, with 2018 described as a time ‘of stagnant distrust’ by the global Edelman Trust barometer. In this context, our Summit analyses how technology will evolve the information and intelligence we have in our reach. We will consider who and what we will trust in the future and what this means for leadership.
