What if true leadership meant knowing how to follow? In this immersive keynote, Sophie Lavaud challenges conventional leadership thinking and highlights the strength of collective intelligence - on high-altitude expeditions and in the corporate world alike.

For one evening, Sophie Lavaud takes you into the heart of the Himalayas through the screening of one of her documentary films, retracing her expeditions on the world’s highest peaks. Striking visuals, authentic storytelling, and the sharing of powerful emotions create a unique immersion into the realm of extreme altitude.

In this keynote, Sophie Lavaud—the first French national to summit all 14 peaks over 8,000 meters—and Laurence Bret Stern, a pioneer of the French Tech ecosystem, come together to explore the principles of effectuation.
