In this session at the Conference of Montréal 2026, participants explore insights from Edelman’s Trust Barometer and examine how growing insularity is reshaping trust in institutions, markets, and society.
Speakers:
• Martine St-Victor, General Manager, Montreal, Edelman
• Karl Moore, Associate Professor of Strategy & Organization, McGill University
Topics discussed:
• Trust in institutions and society
• Edelman Trust Barometer insights
• Social insularity and fragmentation
• Public confidence and institutional legitimacy
• Communication and perception gaps
• Economic and technological uncertainty
• Artificial intelligence and societal change
• Workforce transformation and job security
• Generational perspectives on trust
• Media, information, and credibility
• Social cohesion and polarization
• Rebuilding trust in a changing world
As societies face accelerating technological, economic, and social change, trust in institutions is becoming increasingly fragile, with rising concerns about insularity and disengagement. This discussion draws on findings from Edelman’s Trust Barometer to explore how these dynamics are evolving and what it will take for governments, businesses, and civil society to rebuild trust and strengthen social cohesion in an era of profound transformation.
