Grayling's Annual Matters that Matter Trends Event 2026

Join our breakfast panel event as we discuss the reputation trends that will define 2026.

Matters that Matter will explore the evolving reputational environment, the major risks on the horizon, and what leaders need to do now to build and protect trusted reputations in 2026. We will also be launching our new Global Trends Report on Reputation, which looks at how expectations, behaviours and narratives are shifting globally.

We are joined by a brilliant cross-sector panel bringing perspectives from politics, media, culture and public policy:

• Jimmy McLoughlin, Podcaster, Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, and former No. 10 advisor
• Hannah Prevett, Associate Business Editor, The Sunday Times
• Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett, Podcaster, Energy Revolution Podcast and former senior UK Government advisor
• Luca Bish, television personality and social media creator

The session will deliver sharp insight, practical takeaways and the opportunity to connect with peers across communications, public affairs, corporate affairs and the creator economy.
