About this Event

12:15 on 19th November 2025 - LIVETALK stage

Thought leadership plays a pivotal role in shaping how individuals and businesses think, act, and lead - especially in today’s fast-paced digital world, where social media and influencers often dominate the conversation. At #SGBS25, Ros Conkie of The Marketing Machine Works chairs a timely and engaging panel exploring how the business community forms its views and who truly influences them.

Key questions include: What defines genuine thought leadership? How do social media algorithms - built to reward popularity over expertise - affect the reach of informed insight? And can small businesses still carve out meaningful thought leadership in a landscape driven by trends and influencers?

This session invites members of the South Gloucestershire business community to reflect, engage, and share their experiences as we explore how to cultivate authentic, value-led leadership in an era shaped by digital influence.
