Facilitated networking: Reputation & Trust in the Age of AI Fakery

Most professional relationships today start with a LinkedIn request and die in a DM. Meanwhile, AI-generated content is flooding every channel — making it harder to tell who's real, who's credible, and who's worth your time.

Trust is becoming the scarcest currency in professional life. And you can't build it through a screen alone.
Together with the Prague Founders & Digital Professionals community, we're hosting a small facilitated networking evening at Spaces Smíchov. This is not a social mixer.

The Topic of the Evening: AI is making everything easier to fake — credentials, content, even relationships. So how do you build a reputation that actually holds up? How do you know who to trust — and how do others decide whether to trust you? We'll get into it.

This session creates a space for that.
Together with the Prague Founders & Digital Professionals community, we’re hosting a small facilitated networking evening at Spaces Smíchov. This is not a typical social mixer. It is a structured session designed for those who value depth over a stack of business cards.

The Topic of the Evening:
As AI tools automate content and work, how do professionals build real trust and maintain high-quality relationships today? We’ll discuss how reputation, credibility, and professional connections are evolving in 2026.

What to Expect:

• 30 min Group Discussion: How trust, credibility, and reputation actually work in 2026 — when anyone can sound like an expert with the right prompt.
• 60 min Facilitated Networking: No small talk. Structured table rotations designed so you have real conversations with most people in the room.
• The Vibe: No pitches. No panels. No "let me tell you about my startup." etc.

Who usually comes: Founders, consultants, product people, designers, and remote professionals who work globally and are tired of shallow networking.
