The 2026 Trust in Practice Summit co-hosted by the Alliance for Social Trust and Allstate, will be held for it’s second year in Chicago, IL. This year’s Summit will bring together over 250 leaders from national and local institutions to deepen understanding, build relationships, and spark new areas of inquiry around social trust. Sessions and collaborative workshops will focus on learning from successful models for trust-building, advancing cross-sector collaboration, and elevating strategies that drive measurable impact—from community engagement approaches and organizational practices to narrative change.
A signature moment of the 2026 Summit will be recognizing our Trust in Practice Awardees, highlighting leading collaborations that are advancing trust within communities across the country.
Through panels, workshops, and peer exchange, participants will explore what we have learned so far, what is showing promise, and what the next phase of trust-building demands. The Summit will offer a dynamic space for leaders to align around shared challenges, learn from effective models, and catalyze collective action that strengthens social trust at scale.
