We’re bringing our legendary networking drinks party to Cannes.
On Monday 16th from 4pm at Maison New Digital Age, we’re bringing the whole industry together for a session of catching up, networking and meaningful conversations.
No agenda, no presentations, just a group of brilliant people and fascinating conversation.
For those missing their pets while in Cannes, Tripadvisor and Mars, in partnership with NDA, are hosting two morning coastal walks with our furry friends to kick off your day on Tuesday 17 June and Wednesday 18 June.
The route of the walk starts at Maison New Digital Age (59 Rue Félix Faure) continuing down the coast, before heading back to our venue for a little breakfast.
The dog walks have limited numbers so sign up below to secure your slot!
To combat Cannes overload, NewDigitalAge and Digital Women Cannes are partnering with the brilliant Jenny Okolo, founder of SASA Health & Sensory, to host a special pop-up wellness experience, ‘RESET ON THE GO!’ on 18th June at 10am local time at our Maison New Digital Age hub (Dukes Bar).
Okolo, an award-winning TEDx speaker, commented: “It’s incredible to see sensory wellness becoming part of the global creative conversation. Wellbeing is something we should feel, not just talk about!”
Attendees will have the option of taking home a special Sensory Reset Kit, designed to support neurodivergent and anxious individuals navigating overstimulating environments. There are a limited number of kits available throughout the week (distributed on a ‘first come, first served’ basis). If you would like to reserve a kit or sign up for the experience, you can book your place for free here.
