20 January 2026, 07:30–09:30 UK Time

08.30 - 10.30 CET

Brand Finance will be in Davos on Tuesday, 20th January to launch the Global 500 2026, the 20th edition of its annual study of the world's strongest and most valuable brands.

Join us for breakfast and a panel discussion with C-Suite leaders on “AI Rising: The Evolution of Brand and Trust” and sharing the latest trends and insights from the leading brands in our study.

Join other senior leaders at an exclusive event, hosted in association with Infosys, to:

  • Exchange views with global leaders on the role of branding as AI evolves
  • Understand how to bridge the gap between marketing and finance to drive growth.
  • Network with other business leaders.

More on the panel discussion:

The proliferation of artificial intelligence is a rocket boost for innovation, but it has blurred the boundaries of authenticity and trust. This challenge creates an opportunity for brands. As AI levels the playing field across industries, trust, purpose, and human connection become how companies differentiate themselves and grow. Brand is how those values are communicated and how companies connect with customers.  

Financial and marketing leaders will discuss AI’s impact on financial performance, how trusted brands drive share price and growth, and new, exclusive qualitative data from Brand Finance on how AI is changing the role of resilience, brand, and trust.
