2025 Page Annual Conference

Misinformation, cyber threats, and data privacy concerns are making trust more fragile than ever, putting brands at risk. This session will explore how leaders can navigate these challenges with agility—safeguarding brand integrity while fostering trust and resilience. You’ll hear how organizations like Project Liberty are working to combat misinformation, including their bid to acquire TikTok and return data privacy control to the people. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to strengthen your brand’s credibility and navigate today’s complex digital landscape. 

Polarization poses a critical threat to business leaders, and this challenge intensifies when business issues like climate, technology, and public health are framed with weaponized language—such as “climate crisis,” “regulatory overreach,” and “privacy invasion”—deepening divides and harming advocates on all sides. This panel will explore how leaders can shift these narratives and facilitate constructive dialogue—keeping in mind that “it’s not what people say, it’s what people hear.” Panelists will share strategies to communicate effectively, navigate complexity, and lead with resilience in an increasingly fragmented world.

Immediately following the previous session, Bob Feldman will invite you to turn to the members at your table to build on the panel's insights. This is your chance to share stories, discuss strategies that have proven effective (and those that haven't), and provide valuable feedback to each other. The goal: for you to emerge with pragmatic information you can use to make a difference within your organizations.

Page’s new benchmarking initiative reveals how CCOs are restructuring their functions to address growing demands and expectations. This is especially timely as Page has observed an expansion of CCO remits to areas like Public Affairs, Marketing, Brand, Sustainability and even HR – along with increasingly scarce resources. This session will deliver insights from Page’s benchmarking study and introduce a dynamic new framework for optimizing one’s function to fit their organization’s unique needs.  

It’s time for a software update. This session is a “download” of how leaders from across multiple industries are taking a modern approach to measurement while not discounting the fundamentals. Specific topics we’ll address include strategies to move from data to truly actionable insights that drive business impact. The conversation will focus on how to adapt your measurement as business needs and the external environment evolve.  We will dig into how technology, including AI, can be used to drive deeper insights at faster speeds, and uncover best practices that audience members can take back to their day jobs. 

Get ready for a fast-paced, high-energy session designed to spark fresh ideas and make new connections. In this speed-dating-style format, you’ll rotate through brief, focused conversations on timely topics, engaging with a variety of peers and perspectives. With contact sheets to track who you meet, you’ll leave with new insights—and a stronger network.

The leadership approaches that worked in the past don’t always resonate with the next generation of talent. As Gen Z and Millennials reshape workplace expectations, how can today’s leaders foster engagement, growth, and resilience while also evolving their own leadership styles? This panel will explore how to cultivate truly agile, multigenerational teams by embracing new perspectives, reciprocal leadership, and modern development strategies. They will share real-world examples of what’s working, where the challenges lie, and how emerging leaders are shaping the future of leadership itself. 

Saddle up for a lively evening at Klyde Warren Park with Tex-Mex favorites, cocktails, line dancing, and live country music. Let’s embrace the spirit of Dallas by dressing in our best denim and diamonds as we connect, unwind, and celebrate resilience with a little Lone Star flair.

In a world that demands constant agility, leaders must prioritize their own resilience to effectively guide others. Burnout is real, and the pressures of “always on” leadership can take a toll both personally and professionally. This session will explore strategies for sustaining energy, emotional intelligence, and a growth mindset while navigating rapid change. Through candid conversations and real-world experiences, Rebecca Blumenstein will share her approaches to maintaining balance, strengthening leadership resilience, and fostering long-term success in an accelerated environment.

In an era of permacrisis—where overlapping crises challenge every facet of our lives and organizations—leaders must go beyond simply reacting to adversity and build lasting resilience. This session will explore how to navigate ongoing volatility with agility, strength, and strategic foresight. Panelists will share their approaches to sustaining resilience—not just as a coping mechanism, but as a catalyst for transformational leadership.
