Meet Can: Diversity Collective

Founded to Create Opportunity & Access to Some of the World's Most Sought-After Stages and Events.

C:DC was founded in 2018 in response to the lack of inclusion in advertising, marketing, communications, and the creative industries. For decades, industry leaders expressed concern. We moved beyond concern to action, increasing representation of talented creative spirits at some of the world's most significant industry events.

In 2024, C:DC made history, hosting the first stand-alone activation dedicated to advancing inclusion during the World Economic Forum (WEF). This groundbreaking moment spotlighted the global impact of inclusion and created a space for bold, necessary conversations at one of the world's most influential gatherings.

In 2027, the journey continues. Inkwell Beach - Davos, builds on the past three years, bringing together distinguished speakers, change makers, and thought leaders to explore the critical need for intentional inclusion in today's rapidly evolving world.

What We Are Committed To

  • Nurture future leadersMentorship and development for the next generation of industry leaders.
