October 26, 2026 · 2:00 PM–3:00 PM ET

WebinarVirtualPaidNew

We are living in an era of “certain uncertainty” — where all that is certain is change. This is the result of a journey that started two decades ago with technology and connectivity at our fingertips, coupled with a pandemic and the rise of AI to create a “rattled generation”.

The good news for communicators leading organizations: according to the Edelman Trust Barometer, “my employer” is cited as the most trusted, surpassing government, media, and other institutions.

Together, we will examine the leadership “call to action” and how to navigate life in these uncertain times in a conversation with Axios co-founders Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen.  They will talk about the ideas behind their new book, “Simplify: Do 50% More with 50% Less” — drawing on their experience building Politico and Axios, and lessons learned from executives of today’s leading companies. They will also discuss how AI is creating both opportunity and complexity in our work and personal lives.

Walk away with ideas on how our organizations can set priorities and make meaningful progress by doing less of what does not matter, using a practical three-step framework.

The session will conclude with an audience Q&A.
