Event Details

“Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it’s broken, but you can still see the crack in that ... reflection” – Lady Gaga

Trust has been linked to every business and every kind of human emotion. But how does it connect to modern life? Is it tangible? Is it intangible? Does it live in institutions, in people, in brands? Or is it up to every individual to decide? Does it even exist anymore?

In today’s world, standards are in flux and everything has become more movable, flippant and transient. Key values that guide business are shifting too. They are eroding and being redefined with the way brands and business work.

In this climate, is it naïve to hope that trust will remain a guiding principle of how we engage and how we operate? And, once trust is lost can it ever be truly regained? Does it matter?

Grappling with the question ‘has trust left the building?’ will be tricky. It takes the most brilliant minds around to provoke, to debate, to convince and to put forward a credible and trustworthy point of view. Come along and listen for yourself at The Battle of Big Thinking, an APG event. Diving into the trust fray will never be this much fun again.

Please join us for drinks & canapés from 5.00pm at Garden Terrace (MCA), hosted by Powered
