When discussing human rights and the fight against injustice, it’s essential to know one of the most influential global events on these topics: the Trust Conference. Organized by the Thomson Reuters Foundation, this global forum brings together leaders, activists, experts, and innovators from around the world to exchange ideas on creating free and fair societies, trustworthy institutions, and inclusive and sustainable economies.

The 2024 edition will be held on October 22 and 23, 2024, at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London. Torino Social Impact will participate in the event to gain deeper knowledge of the topics it addresses daily, aimed at promoting real social impact.

Over two days, the forum will feature panel discussions, debates, interactive presentations, and networking opportunities. It’s a chance to explore concrete and collaborative solutions to increasingly urgent global challenges.

Exploring solutions to present-day challenges

This year’s Trust Conference will delve into crucial contemporary issues, from press freedom to gender equality, climate change, and digital rights.

The first day will focus on the many challenges global democracy faces with the growing integration of artificial intelligence into our digital landscape. Media professionals and newsroom leaders will share insights on how to ensure the core values of good journalism remain intact as they enter a new phase of radical transformation.

The second day will center on the broader social impact of AI and the role that responsible businesses can play in response to global transformations.

Toward impact journalism: the participation of Torino Social Impact

As TSI, we are thrilled to attend this event as part of the Torino Impact Journalism initiative, which is exploring the role of information in the era of the impact economy.

The topics to be discussed at the Trust Conference align closely with the values and goals of this initiative, based on the belief that journalism plays a key role in driving change in a context where all societal actors—from institutions to businesses—are called upon to act on the great environmental and social challenges.

Torino Social Impact’s participation is an opportunity to expand our commitment to this issue and connect with other international organizations that share the same vision of creating positive impact in journalism and information.
