There is no denying the financial services sector faces challenging times. A hostile public, an accusing media and an unsympathetic government. But has the tide turned? November saw the formal approval of the Kay Review, and with it much talk of the financial services industry taking a more sustainable, longer view. Can this be the answer to the issues facing those charged with their organisation's reputation management or other solutions needed?

With four years of experience and development, the 2013 iteration of this annual conference focuses on how the financial services sector can reclaim its reputation by
   * Rebuilding its relationship of trust with the public
   * Regaining equilibrium in its media depictions
   * Responding to and collaborating with the government and other regulatory stakeholders.
