Trust under the spotlight at CongRegation 2026

Thu, Oct 29, 2026

Who do we trust, and why? Can we trust what we read online, the technology we increasingly rely on, or the institutions that shape our lives? And what happens when trust is broken?

These are some of the questions at the heart of CongRegation 2026, (www.congregation.ie) which will bring people from different backgrounds together in Cong, from November 27th–29th to explore the theme of Trust. Submissions are still open, and the organisers are inviting people to share their own experiences, ideas and perspectives.
