As VivaTech celebrates its 10th edition, we’re bringing together the world’s leading CMOs with the innovators who are redefining how brands engage and perform. Over three days you’ll connect with peers, visionary marketers, and the founders building the tools that will power your next breakthrough campaigns. And while VivaTech spans the entire tech ecosystem, we’ve designed a dedicated program for marketing leaders. From high-level summits to private networking spaces, there is a wealth of content designed to address the unique pressures and opportunities CMO’s are navigating today.
The CMO Summit: High-Level Vision on Stage One
On Friday, June 19, Stage One in Hall 7.2 becomes your front-row seat to the future of marketing. This isn’t just a series of talks; it’s a half-day strategic deep dive with industry-leading CMOs and tech pioneers unpacking the macro shifts you need on your radar. From the shifting architecture of global organizations to the effects of AI on every step of a customer’s journey, this CMO summit is designed to spark long-term thinking and bold decisions. If you want to see where the frontier of marketing is moving, this is where you’ll find the map.
Here are some of the previous speakers that have left their mark on Stage One:
- Rachel Thornton, Chief Marketing Officer @ Adobe
- Kaylin Voss, Executive VP @ Salesforce
- Asmita Dubey, Chief Digital & Marketing Officer @ L’Oreal Groupe

Exec Arena: Deep Dives & Masterclasses
Make sure to keep your calendar open from Thursday the 17th to Friday the 19th, because the Exec Arena serves as the tactical partner to the main stage. This is where the conversation gets more in-depth for C-suite academics. Masterclasses, workshops, and unfiltered business cases led by peers currently in the trenches of the digital transformation is what you’ll find there. If you’re ready to get real serious and step into master-level, peer-to-peer classroom, the Exec Arena offers the practical frameworks you can take back home and apply.
Learn about some of the past attendees/speakers in the Exec Arena:
- Teresa Barreira, Global CMO/CCO @ Sapient
- Freddie Martyn, European Marketing VP @ POLITICO
- Abhay Parasnis, Founder & CEO @ Typeface

CMO Lounge: Your Quiet Networking Hub
Networking is the lifeblood of VivaTech, and the CMO Lounge is your dedicated home base for CMO’s. Located just steps away from the Exec Arena in Hall 7.2, this space is reserved for marketing’s C-suite to connect, dine, and talk away from the buzz of the main floor. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to catch up on emails between sessions or want to engage in a candid roundtable with other CMO’s, the CMO Lounge is open all three days of the event.
