About This Conference

This session centered on "The Expert in the Era of Post-Truth," focusing on how business schools could reclaim their role as primary sources of objective truth during a period of intense political and economic volatility. Hosted in the world’s most concentrated media market, the event challenged communications leaders to move beyond the traditional press release and work with editors from the Financial Times, BBC, and The Guardian to produce data-backed, high-impact commentary that cuts through the noise of the global news cycle.
