Edelman Trust Barometer: 2010 Annual Global Opinion Leaders Study
The Mid-America Club
200 E. Randolph Dr., 80th floor
11:30am-2:00pm
Please join CEO Richard Edelman, U.S. Chief Operating Officer Nancy Ruscheinski and an esteemed group of panelists to discuss and review the findings in the 2010 Edelman Trust Barometer.
 
WHY: On the heels of the Great Recession, when trust in business sank to historic lows, the 2010 Trust Barometer reports a rise in trust in business. The rise is tenuous, however, with nearly 70 percent of survey respondents saying business and financial companies will revert to old habits when the financial crisis is over.
 
The Trust Barometer derives from more than 4,500 interviews across 22 countries and probes the attitudes of opinion shapers on government bailouts; trust in specific industries and countries; and the most credible spokesperson and media.
 
FEATURED PANELISTS INCLUDE:
  • Michael Arndt, Senior Editor, BusinessWeek
  • Dan Diermeier, IBM Professor of Regulation and Competitive Practice, Kellogg School of Management
  • Michael Jarvis, Private Sector Development Specialist, World Bank
 
WHERE: The Mid-America Club, 200 E. Randolph Dr., 80th floor

WHEN: Thursday, February 11, 2010
 
Registration and networking: 11:30 a.m.
Luncheon: Noon to 2 p.m.
