1. Location: The Pavillon & Studio Gabriel 

Situated amongst Paris’s grandeur and opulence, the Pavillon Gabriel is a perfect combination of style and history. In 2018 it underwent an impressive renovation that offers modern glass architecture paired with the Champs-Elysées gardens. As an added bonus, our event will take place in early Spring, a fantastic time to explore Paris in bloom!

2. Keynotes: Ivalua CEO, David Khuat-Duy and Hanli Prinsloo, Founder of I AM WATER Ocean Conservation

Our second day will kick off with Ivalua’s Founder and CEO, David Khuat-Duy, as he  champions those who endeavor to discover and create something entirely new–bringing an inspiring spirit of innovation. These innovators are challenging existing perspectives, pushing boundaries, and uncovering remarkable opportunities for progress – ultimately leading us down a path towards positive change.

Later in the day, we’re looking forward to hearing from our closing keynote speaker Hanli Prinsloo, Founder of I AM WATER Ocean Conservation. Hanli is a South African freediving record holder and with an extensive background in social-political documentary filmmaking. She has traveled the world seeking and telling stories of transformation, hope, and inspiration. Her mission is to reconnect people with nature through the innovative I AM WATER ocean workshops in underserved coastal communities.
