Advertising giant Publicis brings on board Bob Iger, Satya Nadella, and Michelle Obama as advisors for future planning in 2021.

Publicis, the Paris-based holding company, is set to break from tradition with a four-day event scheduled to take place at the end of 2020. Unlike the usual 'Publicis Wishes' holiday video, this event will affirm the company's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The event, taking place on Publicis' Marcel platform, is scheduled to start on December 14, 2020, and will run daily for two hours. The location may be virtual, but the impact is expected to be far-reaching, as the event aims to transform Publicis' work practices and reinforce its dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The event will feature a series of fireside chats, with esteemed speakers such as Disney chairman Bob Iger, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and former first lady Michelle Obama. The specific initiatives announced during the event, intended to reinvent Publicis' approach to work, have not been disclosed yet.

However, it's clear that this event is not just a one-off occasion. Publicis will also share a roadmap for 2021, indicating a long-term commitment to these important issues. The event is exclusive to Publicis' 80,000 employees, ensuring that the message resonates within the company.

This groundbreaking event marks a significant step for Publicis, demonstrating its unwavering dedication to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and beyond. As the world continues to evolve, it's clear that companies like Publicis are leading the way in creating a more inclusive and equitable future.
