Held under the theme _“From Message to Mandate”_, the Summit will examine how communications professionals can move beyond message delivery to influence organisational decisions, safeguard reputation and build stakeholder trust in an environment increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, fragmented media and heightened scrutiny. The programme brings together perspectives from newsrooms, corporate leadership, technology and the communications industry to address a central question: how can communications leaders maintain credibility and demonstrate their strategic value when the information landscape is changing faster than ever? Notable keynote speakers include **Rosianna Silalahi**, President Director of KompasTV, whose session, _“Holding the Line: What Newsrooms Need from Communicators”_, will draw on the Indonesian broadcaster’s experience navigating demonstrations, external pressure and the growing challenges of verifying information. Her contribution will examine the responsibilities journalists and communicators share in protecting information integrity, maintaining editorial independence, and establishing accountability for AI-generated content. The relationship between media credibility and organisational reputation will also feature in the keynote by **Glenda Gloria, Co-Founder and Executive Editor of Rappler**, who will deliver _“Keepers of the Record”,_ reflecting on journalism’s role in an era of disinformation and declining trust, and what the changing media landscape means for communications professionals. Beyond the newsroom, the Summit will consider how communications can deliver greater strategic value to organisations. **Terence Lyons, Founder and CEO of [TSC.ai](https://protect.checkpoint.com/v2/r04/___http:/tsc.ai___.Y3A0YTpzc286YzpvZmZpY2UzNjVfZW1haWxzX2F0dGFjaG1lbnQ6ZGE0OGY0OGFmNjMwMzVlZWM1ZmNkYzliMTA5YTVhMWE6Nzo2M2M0OjIzZDgyOGI0ZTg5YWU2YjAyYTQzMGM0ZTQ3ODM2M2Q4ZmJiMGNlNWJkZTI0YjNmYzRkZTZhMWRlOWM5YjZkOTU6cDpUOk4),** will examine how stakeholder intelligence can help organisations anticipate emerging issues and understand influence, while **Wendy Wang, Founder of [getUGC.io](https://protect.checkpoint.com/v2/r04/___http:/getugc.io___.Y3A0YTpzc286YzpvZmZpY2UzNjVfZW1haWxzX2F0dGFjaG1lbnQ6ZGE0OGY0OGFmNjMwMzVlZWM1ZmNkYzliMTA5YTVhMWE6NzozMTQ3OjA2MzIxYTUzZjM0MGNmMmZiNzhmNzQ2YzhmZmJiOWRkYTcwYmZmMjhkMTRkYWY1ZTZlNWIwZWFmNDhiMGFjMzk6cDpUOk4)**, will explore the evolving relationship between creators, communities and brand trust. Another focus will be the growing influence of artificial intelligence on how organisations are discovered and understood. **Shaad Hamid, General Manager, Singapore at GrowthOps Asia**, will examine the relationship between earned media and AI visibility, while** Emma Dale, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Prospect Resourcing**, will consider the human judgement, trust and leadership that remain essential as AI becomes more embedded in communications work. ** Jennifer Kok, Founder and CEO of Media OutReach Newswire**, will deliver the Title Sponsor Keynote, _“The Golden Age of PR: Why an AI-Enabled Global Newswire Matters More Than Ever”_, exploring the role of earned media and newswire distribution in building brand trust and visibility in an AI-driven environment.
