The Cannes Can: Diversity Collective Inkwell Beach will host “Curative Conversations” across three days. Topics will focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) commitments and progress around the world since the death of George Floyd, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the #ForwardFocused movement designed to bring about permanent change.

This year, the panel hopes to stimulate conversation on topics such as the development of talent channels in non-traditional ways, creativity, c-suite engagement and more.

Founded by Adrianne C. Smith, FleishmanHillard’s chief diversity and inclusion officer, Cannes Can: Diversity Collective hosted its first beach activation focused on DE&I at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in 2019.

World Bending Activism: How Creativity Defined a Culture of Activism Around the World

FleishmanHillard’s Jacob Porpossian, a member of the agency’s global DE&I and global creative leadership teams, will moderate the World Bending Activism: How Creativity Defined a Culture of Activism Around the World discussion. Panel guests include Emily Graham, chief equity and impact officer at Omnicom; XiaoHwa Ng, cultural content director at ADMERASIA; Rich Ferraro, chief communications officer at GLAAD; Cheryl Guerin, executive vice president at Mastercard; and Karlie Thornton, founder at froSkate. Panelists will explore creativity in activism, its benefits and challenges, and how the communications and advertising industries can drive actionable change.
