Building on the success of the inaugural edition hosted by the OECD in its Paris HQ, the Digital Trust Convention returns for its second edition—this time held at renowned AI research institute Mila in Montreal, on November 6 and 7, 2025.
The Digital Trust Convention explores how we can “upgrade” our digital environment to make it resilient against AI-automated bots, fakes and slop that distort democratic discourse, impede transparent markets and hijack human attention. Against a backdrop of authoritarian divisiveness, the Digital Trust Convention aims at a courageous, positive, even joyful digital future for shared humanity.
Specifically, the Digital Trust Convention 2025 will consider questions such as:
- How can we (re-)establish trust in people and information?
What approaches, instruments and measures might be effective and sustainable? - How can we reliably recognise real human beings in the digital space without compromising privacy?
- How can we ensure that every citizen/consumer has a fair chance to be heard and have an impact?
- What incentive structures and commercial models are needed to favour constructive, compassionate and consensus-building discourse?
The Digital Trust Convention brings together a unique combination of leading thinkers and experts from the public and private sectors and a broad range of disciplines to connect, share, learn, and engage. The two-day event is dedicated to a number of sessions in a range of formats to build a multistakeholder community and to initiate a positive transformation of our digital environment.
