In this session...

These are extraordinary times. Americans feel fed up, fired up, left out, checked out. How do leading brands think about responding to fast-changing cultural currents and engaging directly with sweeping social movements? Given the pitfalls, when does it make sense to take a stand and pick up the megaphone, stick to “safe” issues, or stay out of it altogether? This panel brings together a diverse range of executives who've been asking hard questions about the role of companies as agents of change.
