10:00am | Event concludes

Confidence in institutions is near historic lows as information sources fracture and polarization accelerates. To maintain credibility at a time where business leaders face evolving expectations, communicators are turning to a new mix of tactics to build reputation and transparency with the audiences they serve.

Join Axios House and Burson at Climate Week for an invitation-only roundtable about strengthening credibility in the age of skepticism. We’ll gather communications, public and corporate affairs leaders to discuss the strategies for appealing to splintered audiences, why people increasingly respond to direct communication from individuals over platforms and how to craft a message that resonates.

This roundtable discussion will be moderated by:
