Featured Topic & Speakers
Building on the success of last year’s European Trust Summit, the 2018 edition will take place on 28 March.
Co-presented by the Public Affairs Council and Edelman, we expect to attract over 100 mid- to senior-level government officials and public affairs professionals.
The publication of the Edelman 2018 Trust Barometer, along with major changes in social, regulatory and business trends have made this senior-level discussion a must-attend event for honing your corporate or association strategy for 2018.
