About This Conference
This landmark session focused on "The Future of the Global Business Narrative" during a period of intense economic scrutiny following the Eurozone debt crisis. Hosted in the heart of the world’s media capital, the conference provided business school communicators with direct access to the decision-makers at the Financial Times, The Economist, and Reuters. The program emphasized strategies for positioning academic research as a stabilizing force in the 24-hour news cycle, helping schools move beyond "reactive" PR to become proactive "knowledge partners" for journalists covering the shifting global financial order. Participants explored the rising influence of digital-first journalism and the growing need for faculty who could provide concise, expert commentary on complex macroeconomic issues.
