Trust is now the defining currency of leadership. Every decision — from the boardroom to the brand — is measured not only in outcomes, but in public confidence. The 2026 Edelman Trust Barometer will reveal what’s driving belief, skepticism, and influence in today’s polarized environment, uncovering how leaders can bridge divides and use trust to drive growth, credibility, and impact. 

This spring, the Executives’ Club of Chicago will partner with Edelman to unveil the latest global Trust Barometer findings. The popular annual program opens with a high-impact presentation bringing the data to life, followed by a forward-looking fireside conversation with Richard Edelman, CEO of Edelman.

This isn’t just a report — it’s a signal. A real-time read on the forces reshaping leadership, reputation, and public belief in 2026 and beyond.
