The SDG Impact Villa lights up Cannes with purpose & power
May 18 @ 1:00 pm - 10:00 pm CEST
Cannes, 18 May 2025 — In a sun-soaked private villa overlooking the Côte d’Azur, 200 global changemakers, artists, and innovators will gather for The SDG Impact Villa — during the Cannes Film Festival.
The SDG Impact Villa offers an unforgettable afternoon and evening of inspiration, connection, and celebration—all in support of the Sustainable Development Goals, at a stunning private villa, this invite-only gathering brings together change-makers, visionaries, and party lovers for a unique blend of purpose and play.
The all-day affair blends high-impact dialogue with high-end experiences. Five dynamic SDG-themed panels will feature thought leaders such as Phurba Khen Rinpoche Lama, Michael Terpin, Charlie Shrem, Valentina Castellani-Quinn, Danielle Turkov Wilson, Scott Page, and others — diving deep into urgent issues from blockchain innovation to gender equity and climate resilience.
Guests will be treated to a social impact film screening and a spiritual peace blessing by Phurba Khen Rinpoche Lama, bridging mindfulness and mission in a rare moment of serenity.
As the golden hour arrives, the atmosphere will shift to celebration — DJ Donn Healy (Ibiza) will take over the decks while gourmet fare from The Lake Or Noir and an open bar featuring top-shelf cocktails set the tone for an unforgettable evening.
One of the standout experiences? Futuristic AI twin shoots powered by Angel Twin/Twin Protocol, offering guests a glimpse into the next wave of digital identity tech.
Co-hosted by a visionary team — including Nick Baci, Dr. Harry Malinski, Mitchell Ruiz, Morielle Harris, and Benn Wiebe — the SDG Impact Villa proves that progress and pleasure can go hand in hand.
