Keynote Speaker Announcement

We’re extremely proud to unveil our Keynote Speaker at Trust Conference, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize Winner Maria Ressa. We wanted you to hear it first!

Maria’s unstinting and courageous work to protect freedom of expression and access to information as Co-Founder and CEO of Rappler – a digital media company for investigative journalism in the Philippines – are world-renowned. She has demonstrated extraordinary leadership in efforts to uphold these civil liberties, in a world where democracy and free, independent media are increasingly threatened.

Maria’s remarks will launch the two-day forum on November 17-18, where we’ll be exploring the world’s most urgent societal issues - from the need to build more inclusive and sustainable economies post-pandemic - to surging attacks on media freedom and emerging digital rights risks.

Watch Maria share her powerful insights into fighting disinformation in the Philippines and countering attempts to silence the free press, at Trust Conference 2019.
