The Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA), through its SIGAWomen Programme, and Roberto Cavalli join forces to launch the SIGAWomen Lounge, an innovative thought leadership initiative aimed at advancing SIGA’s agenda on gender equity in Sport.

Marking its first-ever edition, the SIGAWomen Lounge will take place on 24 June 2026, during the Cannes Lions Festival, at the Roberto Cavalli boutique in Cannes, France.

The boutique will be closed to the public to welcome guests and speakers in a special and exclusive environment. The Italian Maison joins the initiative as Host Partner, providing a distinctive setting for dialogue at the intersection of Sport, leadership and the creative industries.

Designed as an intimate and insightful experience, the SIGAWomen Lounge will convene senior leaders from across the creative industries and Sport for curated SIGAWoW – Women on Wednesdays sessions, fostering open exchange, reflection and forward-looking dialogue.

The initiative represents a journey of female empowerment and a platform for the promotion of women’s leadership, reinforcing SIGA’s commitment to advancing gender equity in Sport. By bringing together fashion, creativity, and Sport, the SIGAWomen Lounge aims to generate ideas, inspire leadership, and contribute to meaningful, lasting progress.

Commenting on the launch, Katie Simmonds, Chair of the SIGAWomen Council, and SIGA’s Chief Commercial Officer said:

“SIGAWomen is honoured to welcome Roberto Cavalli as Host Partner for our in-person WoW – Women on Wednesdays – session. An icon of daring elegance and unapologetic self-expression, Roberto Cavalli embodies confidence, creativity, and individuality — making it a compelling setting for a gathering dedicated to leadership, progress, and influence.

Where sport and fashion converge, new perspectives emerge. Together, they form a powerful catalyst for innovation, visionary leadership, and enduring impact. We invite stakeholders to join us in Cannes for an exceptional SIGAWomen experience.”
