AI-enabled cyber threats, such as deepfakes and synthetic media, are now a board-level and investor concern for listed companies. These risks can undermine market confidence, distort investor communications, weaken internal controls, and damage corporate reputation, through scenarios like fake CEO instructions, manipulated disclosures, and fraudulent outreach.
This session will focus on governance: whether boards are receiving clear, decision-useful information on technology risk, and whether companies have robust incident response and escalation frameworks in place. It will also touch on longer-term risks such as quantum computing, while keeping the emphasis on immediate oversight, resilience, and investor trust.

In today’s markets, value is shaped not only by financial performance but also by stakeholder trust. Investors increasingly assess whether boards and senior management can communicate strategy clearly, respond credibly during crises, and maintain confidence when organisations face scrutiny.
Media readiness is therefore no longer a public relations issue, it is a governance capability. A poorly handled interview,/ inconsistent messaging during a crisis, or an unprepared spokesperson can erode market confidence, amplify reputational damage and negatively affect shareholder value. Conversely, leaders who communicate with clarity, transparency and credibility can strengthen investor trust, enhance corporate reputation, support capital-raising efforts and reinforce long-term value creation.
This session will examine how boards and senior management can leverage strategic communications and media preparedness as value-creation tools. It will explore the board’s role in overseeing corporate narratives, preparing executives for high-stakes media engagements, managing disclosure risks, responding to crises, and engaging investors and stakeholders with confidence.
Participants will gain practical insights into how media training and communication preparedness can contribute to stronger governance, organisational resilience and sustainable enterprise value.
