AI, a rapidly transforming media industry, and shifting spheres of political influence are converging to create new standards for successful communication. The power of trusted brands and journalism has never been more important as fragmented audiences turn to new platforms, creators and channels for information on the issues driving the latest political and cultural conversations.

This year, we’re bringing our Communicators and Media Trends coverage to life for a special edition of Axios Live’s annual WHCD weekend kick-off brunch. Eleanor Hawkins and Sara Fischer will bring together top tech, policy, media and communications leaders for conversations on ways to back quality content in an AI world–and how to navigate new political and technological forces shaping communication, engagement and influence in Washington.
