Cannesversations brings Cannes-worthy conversations wherever the industry gathers. Co-hosted by Mike Richter and Stefanie Beach, this traveling interview series goes from Cannes to New York, Vegas, Miami, and more to capture sharp takes, honest moments, and the personality behind the job titles. It’s not about company lines or polished pitches. It’s about people, perspective, and a good conversation with the right drink in hand.
It started in Cannes—but the best conversations don’t stay in one place.
