At InfoComm 2026, UC Today’s Marcus Law speaks with Mariana Atencio, journalist, public speaker, and trust expert, following her keynote at the AVIXA Women’s Breakfast.

Mariana explores why trust has become a critical competitive edge across collaboration technology, ProAV, cybersecurity, finance, healthcare, and AI. She explains how leaders can build trust through screens, how teams can strengthen culture in hybrid working environments, and why safe, reliable, and transparent technology is now central to business confidence.

The conversation also covers the risks and opportunities of AI, including deepfakes, human instinct, responsible adoption, and the guardrails industries need to protect users and organizations.

Mariana also shares why she remains optimistic about the future, drawing on her personal experience leaving Venezuela and rebuilding her life through storytelling, purpose, and community.
