ON THE EVE OF THE SOLSTICE,

LEADERSHIP COMES INTO FULL LIGHT.

As we approach its longest day of light at Cannes, we’re bringing together an extraordinary group of CMOs and C-level leaders for an intimate, peer-level working Forum at one of the French Riviera’s most remarkable private estates.

Perched high above Cannes, Château de la Croix des Gardes offers a rare setting for a different kind of leadership conversation. Removed from the energy of the Croisette, surrounded by gardens and sweeping views of the Mediterranean, it gives us something equally rare during Cannes: the space to think.A moment to step outside the noise. To challenge assumptions. To confront what’s changing and what isn’t. And to explore what leadership demands next.

The Solstice Leadership Forum is not another conference.

It’s a closed-door working Forum built for candor, connection and the conversations that rarely happen on stage.

No panels. No prepared talking points. Just exceptional leaders bringing their experience, perspective and biggest questions to the table.

Together, we’ll explore the forces reshaping business and leadership, from AI and transformation to growth, talent, culture and the increasingly complex expectations placed on today’s leaders.

Because as the world changes faster, the opportunity isn’t simply to keep pace.

It’s to lead what comes next.

AS THE SUN SETS OVER CANNES…

The Forum gives way to Dinner with Friends, an intimate evening centered on what has always been at the heart of Virtuosi League: meaningful connection.

And this year, there is so much to celebrate.

As we move into the Summer Solstice and Fête de la Musique, France’s celebration of music on June 21, the evening sits at a remarkable intersection of light, music, leadership and human connection.

Expect unforgettable performances to be announced, a not-to-be-missed Trivia Night, and a few surprises along the way.

Request an invite for One remarkable château. One extraordinary community. One night in Cannes.
