As organisations of all kinds – and each of us individually – grapple with a world of ever-increasing flux and uncertainty, we are delighted to have teamed up with internationally-renowned crisis communications expert, Rod Cartwright, to explore today’s complex, fast-moving risk environment and examine how we can best respond.

In conversation with EACD UK Chapter Co-Chair, Stephen Welch, Rod will take us through some of the most critical key themes from the 2026 edition of his landmark annual ‘Reputation, Risk and Resilience’ report – delivered in partnership with EACD. Click the image or scan the QR code below.

With a focus on increasingly interconnected risk, a worrying ‘awareness-preparedness gap’ and the equally concerning ‘human risk blind spot’, Stephen and Rod will then unpack the two highly practical frameworks that emerge from the 2026 report’s core theme: ‘Assuming Agency and Achieving Balance in the Age of Angst and Rage.’

Rod is also a Visiting Fellow at Cardiff University, Special Advisor to the CIPR Crisis Communication Network and one of the highly-regarded issues, risk and crisis comms specialists around, so this will be a rich, provocative and practical session that you really don’t want to miss!

We are grateful to Roxhill Media for graciously hosting this special event. Thank you, Roxhill and Tarquin Henderson.
