Salon Culture Conversations Cannes Lions 2024
Where Ideas Blossom and Connections Thrive
Salon Culture Conversations is a unique gathering space for creatives, executives, and entrepreneurs to engage in meaningful dialogue, network, and share ideas, all while enjoying the stunning backdrop of the French Riviera.
ABOUT US
In the early days of salon culture, these gatherings were breeding grounds for new ideas and marked the beginnings of an urban bourgeois society. The first salons appeared in Paris in the early 17th century when nobles left their estates to congregate in the capital around the King. Initially, they fostered the early development of bourgeois culture through music and literature.
We have reinvented salon culture for the contemporary world.
Salon Culture Conversations offers an intimate space for dialogue, networking, and idea sharing. Our mission is to create a globally inclusive environment where creatives, executives, brand and agency professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, and good people can connect.
Cannes Lions 2024 was the official launch of Salon Culture Conversations. The conversations, networking, collaboration and community building were transformative and inspiring.
Thank you to all of our speakers, sponsors, attendees and supporters for making it a welcoming and empowering space.
Let’s keep the conversations going.
