What is Trust Conference?
Every year, Trust Conference brings together world-leading experts, innovators, and activists at the forefront of shaping free and equitable societies, trustworthy institutions and responsible and sustainable economies.
Over two days of panel discussions, fireside chats, interactive presentations and networking opportunities, we dissect critical issues threatening democracy and undermining global progress, explore innovative solutions, and forge cross-sector connections that enable the exchange of ideas and expertise.
Why should I attend?
This year, we will ask if it is too late to save democracy, amid escalating global clampdowns on civic space and ruthless legal attacks placing media in a chokehold. We will hear from media titans navigating existential threats to their news operations; policymakers and business leaders balancing equity, transparency and accountability with innovation and progress in an AI era; and philanthropic pioneers working to bolster civil society amid a crumbling funding infrastructure.
Alongside the engaging and insightful plenary sessions, this year we have revamped our networking opportunities. 2025 delegates will be able to maximise new connections, increase their access to our incredible speakers and participate in enhanced interactive elements of the conference. We have lots of exciting updates and opportunities to share with you, created in collaboration with our services and partners.

We are at a critical juncture when it comes to AI, where it’s still within our power to harness this technology to drive positive purpose. This platform allows a collective of rights-based actors to align on best practices and shared goals in building and deploying human-centered AI systems.
Trust Conference stands as a beacon for global discourse on media freedom and social justice. The conference underscored the power of collective effort in advocating for media rights and holding power to account. It was an enriching experience that reaffirmed my commitment to these vital causes.
Trust Conference is a critical and vibrant forum for bringing together diverse participants within the technology and civil society ecosystem. It showcases both the opportunities of building a more equitable future online and the potential consequences of inaction.
The Thomson Reuters Foundation’s Trust Conference is the place to be to get inspired by the leaders pushing for technological developments — and AI in particular — aligned with human rights and dignity.
