We’re kicking off Cannes with a conversation that couldn’t be more timely.

Fearless Voices, sponsored by Basis Technologies and TelevisaUnivision, brings together leaders whose stories remind us that courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s moving forward despite it.

As we continue to push for greater equity across marketing, media, and tech, we know progress happens because people choose to speak up, challenge barriers, and create opportunities for others along the way.

Join us as we hear from an incredible lineup of fearless leaders:
• Michelle Crossan-Matos, Chief Brand & Experience Officer, SharkNinja
• Noor Hassan, Founder of Cancer Echoes and Childhood Cancer Survivor
• Brian Monahan, SVP, Albertsons Media Collective
• Ashley Travis, Head of Growth Marketing, Pizza Hut U.S. Laurie Lam, Chief Brand Officer, e.l.f. Beauty

Their experiences, insights, and resilience will inspire all of us to keep showing up, speaking out, and leading with courage.

What makes a badass boss?

She leads with confidence and conviction. She gives credit generously, takes responsibility when it matters, and creates opportunities for others to grow. She's resilient, respected, and never stops learning.

On June 24, She Runs It and ADWEEK are bringing some of the industry's most admired leaders together for Best of the Badass Bosses™ at Cannes, sponsored by EX.CO, Wunderkind Ads, Weber Shandwick, SiriusXM Media, and Screenvision Media.

Join moderator Lynn Branigan, President & CEO of She Runs It, and an incredible lineup of executives from Adweek, Diageo, Lowe's, Mars Pet Nutrition, SiriusXM Media, and Weber Shandwick as they share the moments that shaped their careers, the challenges they've overcome, and the leadership lessons they carry with them today.

The conversation doesn't end when the panel does. Following the panel discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to connect directly with executive mentors over lunch.

Whether you're building your leadership playbook or looking for inspiration from those who have helped shape our industry, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

More than 50 members of our Detroit community gathered last week for a lively conversation on all things social at She Runs It’s Night of Networking Unplugged, and the insights did not disappoint.

Our speakers shared real talk on what’s actually breaking through right now, including:
• Why choosing the right influencer matters more than chasing reach
• The surprising resurgence of socializing on Facebook
• Why it’s such a powerful moment when a brand’s social channels get to break the news themselves, like the Detroit Tigers welcoming Justin Verlander back through social first

Huge thanks to our incredible speakers:
-Jocelyn Hudak, Senior Director, B2B Content and Digital Marketing, SiriusXM Media, Moderator
-Jenna Frye, Social Media Director, 5-hour ENERGY
-Toni Morris, Senior Manager, Brand and Campaigns, Domino’s
-Emma Nye, Director of Social Media, Detroit Tigers

Smart conversation, great energy, and plenty of new connections made along the way.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We can't wait to do it again.
