The event is over
In 2019, the Cannes Can: Diversity Collective hosted the FIRST beach activation to focus solely on the theme of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Inkwell Beach Cannes is a historical tribute to the infamous beach in Martha’s Vineyard (Cape Cod, USA). It is an activation to celebrate the contributions/perspectives of creative, media, marketing, entertainment, technology and communication fields from communities of color and underrepresented communities. Inkwell Beach panel discussions focus on topics that range from building talent channels from non-traditional pathways, creative pitch competitions, talent showcases, C-Suite – Gloves Off sessions and more! Whether in person or virtual, our goal is make everyone feel WELCOME and INCLUDED in the conversation. When you leave the Inkwell Beach: Cannes conversation, we hope that you will be inspired to embrace CC:DC's motto: "DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. BE ABOUT IT!"
