Cannes’25

Creativity in Motion: Women Inspiring Network’s Journey of Innovation, Collaboration, and Change at Cannes

Women Inspiring Network (WIN) is delighted to host power-packed discussions on creativity, marketing, innovation, and leadership at the #WIN Lounge on June 18 at the iconic Hotel Martinez, during Cannes Lions 2025—the ultimate convergence of the advertising, communications, and creative worlds.

As a global, not-for-profit initiative, WIN is set to amplify visionary voices, weaving together narratives of brand impact, creative disruption, and purpose-driven initiatives at the ritzy resort town of Cannes. WIN will lead conversations that reshape creativity, evoke authenticity, and unlock new realms of imagination, spanning topics such as:

  1. Beyond Advertising: Building Purpose-Driven Brands
  2. The Purpose Playbook: Philanthropic Families and the Art of Giving Big
  3. Disrupting the Default: The New Playbook for Inclusive Innovation
  4. Culture is Capital: The New Frontier of Creative Influence
  5. Metamorphosis of Marketing: Rebuilding Enterprises with Data, AI & Creativity
  6. The Connection Code: Where Emotion Meets Engagement
  7. The Creative Futurist: Cultivating Innovation, Nurturing Gen Z, and Building Organizations That Thrive

Speaking about #WIN Lounge at Cannes, Stuti Jalan, Founder of Women Inspiring Network, said, “This will be a game-changing celebration, uniting visionary leaders from around the world to reshape the future of creativity, with voices contributing to a bold, inclusive, and innovative tomorrow. We are grateful to Dasra and Camphouse for their invaluable support in bringing this transformative gathering to life.”

The WIN momentum doesn’t stop at Cannes. We head to Climate Week New York during UNGA on September 24, 2025 to lead climate-conscious conversations at the WIN Lounge. As Nelson Mandela said, “It is in your hands, to make a better world for all who live in it.”
