Start Cannes with the right conversation
Retail media is one of the fastest-moving spaces in advertising. The women shaping it rarely get a room to themselves at Cannes.
This is that room. Moloco and Women in Retail Media are hosting an intimate brunch at the Moloco Penthouse on the first morning of Cannes Lions. A space for senior women in retail and commerce media to connect, share what they’re seeing, and start the week with honest conversation about the work that matters.
No keynotes. No pitches. Just brunch, a focused panel discussion, and time with the people building this industry.
The Morning
Arrive at the Moloco Penthouse for coffee, pastries, and a rooftop view of the Mediterranean. The first hour is yours: meet the room, find familiar faces and new ones, and settle in before the week begins in earnest.
At 10:30, we’ll gather for a panel chaired by Ellie Prendergast, founder of Women in Retail Media, with leaders from Nectar360, Screwfix, and Moloco. The conversation will be candid: what’s actually changing in retail media, how AI is reshaping the opportunity, and the connections and career decisions that got each panellist to where they are today.
Afterwards, stay for more conversation. The penthouse is open and the coffee is flowing.
