Cannes Lions parties roar into action the second the daytime sessions end. On the Clear Channel mega-yacht, MediaLink’s Wenda Harris Millard threw a glamorous Power Women’s “girls night out” bash with longtime friend Carolyn Everson, Facebook vice president of global marketing solutions. Guests on the 130-foot Sensei docked in Cannes Harbor at sunset yesterday included Facebook’s Nicola Mendelsohn, AOL’s Brand Group CEO Susan Lyne, Conde Nast Entertainment president Dawn Ostroff, Ipsos Open Thinking Exchange CEO Shelley Zalis, Clear Channel Outdoor president and chief operating officer Suzanne Grimes, Starcom’s Laura Desmond and Coca-Cola’s Wendy Clark, Bob Pittman and John Sykes . They were treated to a mind-bending experience by top mentalist Lior Suchard, who was astonishingly able to accurately guess the names of the first conquests of some of the ladies. Their embarrassment faded as the rose wine flowed. Meanwhile, over on AT&T’s yacht Artisan, AT&T AdWorks’ Michael Rosen and Chris Monteferrante kept the champagne flowing for guests including GroupM Global chief digital officer Rob Norman and the School of Marketing’s Nicholas Primola.
