The Advertisers Association of Nigeria (ADVAN) has announced its 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and election of a new executive council, scheduled to hold on Thursday, July 23, 2026, in Lagos
As one of the Association’s most important annual statutory gatherings, the AGM will provide members the opportunity to review the state of the Association, deliberate on key governance matters, and elect a new Executive Council that will help shape ADVAN’s next phase of leadership, advocacy, and industry impact.
Following the AGM, ADVAN will host an Executive Leadership Session on “The Future of Brand Trust: Thriving in an AI-Powered World.”
The session is designed to convene senior business leaders, chief marketing officers, brand custodians, and marketing professionals for a timely and strategic conversation on how brands can build, protect, and sustain trust in an increasingly AI-driven world.
As artificial intelligence continues to transform business operations, marketing, communications, and consumer engagement, trust is fast becoming one of the most valuable assets any brand can possess. From content authenticity and reputation management to customer confidence, transparency, and ethical use of data, the implications of AI for brand building are profound and far-reaching.
ADVAN’s Executive Leadership Session is therefore positioned to help members understand this evolving landscape and prepare for both the opportunities and the risks ahead.
Participants will gain valuable insights into how AI is reshaping brand trust, reputation, and consumer confidence; practical strategies for building credible, resilient, and trusted brands in an increasingly automated marketplace; and the emerging leadership priorities CMOs, business leaders, and brand custodians must address to remain competitive and relevant.
The featured speaker for the session is Crystal I. Berger, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of EBO and Vettify™, a technology entrepreneur at the forefront of building trust infrastructure for the artificial intelligence era.
Berger is a former Senior Booking Producer and National Feature Host at FOX News, where she spent more than a decade helping shape who audiences heard from and trusted across a network of over 1,300 television and radio affiliates. During that period, she facilitated more than 140,000 media bookings, gaining first-hand insight into the growing challenge of trust and credibility within the digital information ecosystem.
