Richard Edelman, President and CEO at Edelman, and one of the marketing industry’s most respected leaders and head of the world’s largest PR firm, will be discussing the findings of this year’s Trust Barometer study, that explores the opportunities for business to lead and earn trust in an era of populism, the state of Trust among U.S. Hispanics and why a majority of people in the region believe the system is failing them.
