Mid-Week Mingle | Trust Under Uncertainty with Professor Dr Øyvind Ihlen

This special edition Mid-Week Mingle features International keynote: Trust Under Uncertainty, by Norwegian Professor Dr Øyvind Ihlen

IABC WA’s Mid-Week Mingle is back for 2026! Join us for great conversations, fresh insights, and an International keynote by Professor Dr Øyvind Ihlen, one of the world’s leading scholars in public relations and risk communication while he visits to guest lecture for ECU.

In an era of heightened scrutiny, politicisation, and misinformation, communicators are increasingly asked to build trust while navigating uncertainty. In this thought-provoking keynote, Professor Ihlen will explore how transparency, assurance, and acknowledgement of uncertainty influence trust - and what this means for communication professionals working in risk-laden, high-stakes environments.

The evening, held in the Central Park Theaterette space in Perth CBD, will include time for networking with fellow communication, PR, public affairs, and corporate professionals, followed by the keynote presentation and Q&A.

Your ticket includes a drink and nibbles—and IABC WA members can bring a friend or colleague for free.

Let’s mix, mingle, and stay ahead together!
