File Under: First Things First - Thank Youuuuu!!   At this point, it’s no secret, Cannes Can: Diversity Collective’s Inkwell Beach - Cannes was the place to be on the Croisette at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. We had some of the greatest minds in AI, DEI, Culture, Community Building, Entertainment, Healthcare, Marketing, Media and Technology join us each year and it’s really a testament to our partners. Because of our partners, we’ve been able to continuously grow our CC:DC Ambassadors cohort each year, from 5 to 25+ participants from 6 continents. Because of the commitment from our partners and our amazing team of volunteers and leaders, Inkwell Beach - Cannes and the Cannes Can: Diversity Collective have blazed a trail for a more Inclusive and more diverse environment and community as well as prioritized necessary conversations around DEI and more! DEI is not Competitive work it is Imperative work! I(we) am/are eternally grateful for the partners that continue to stand “ten toes” down for the Human Connection Business. Thank you for reinforcing our message of “Don’t Believe the Hype - DEI Will Never DIE!”   It’s never too late to join The Collective and become a partner.
