WAVE 2025: TRUST in an ever-changing world

In an era of unprecedented technological innovation, shifting social dynamics, and an increasing demand for authentic leadership in business and beyond, who, how and why do we trust to ensure that progress and innovation are inclusive, safe and sustainable?

Join us on Wednesday 19 March 2025 at FER (Fédération des Entreprises Romandes) Geneva, for the WAVE Conference 2025, where we explore how trust can serve as the foundation for navigating continued and rapid change!
