Forum Overview
Dates: January 28 - 30, 2026
Location: Istanbul, Türkiye
The Forum is an annual, private roundtable meeting for a group of up to 48 preeminent reputation management specialists from around the world, each of whom is personally selected based on the breadth of their experience supporting clients in situations where their reputation is threatened. This highly interactive, collaborative, discussion-based format provides an opportunity for advisers from a range of disciplines to engage in exploring common concerns, key trends, and lived experiences. Both the formal sessions and informal networking time present a rare opportunity to exchange ideas and resolve challenges with a distinguished group of peers.
Using candid, seminar-style discussion, the group identifies trends and developments in their varied jurisdictions for meaningful dialogue on the most interesting and provocative issues of the day.
