Connection. Conversation. Cannes
The Impact Lounge is heading to Cannes. Registration is now open for our next roadmap stop, taking place on May 18th during the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.

Join us at La Muse Restaurant along the Mediterranean coastline for a full day of programming bringing together filmmakers, researchers, investors, and industry leaders for conversations at the intersection of entertainment, evidence, and impact, from practical guidance for navigating today’s film and media landscape, to new research on storytelling as a tool for measurable social change, to systems-level discussions on how entertainment, AI, and finance are increasingly connecting to scale impact globally.
The day will conclude with an evening reception with plenty of drinks and snacks to go around. Register today—it’s free! See you in Cannes.
