Gathering with Purpose: Why Community is Everyone’s Business with Cécile Moulard

In a world reshaped by disruption, disconnection, and accelerating change, community is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. Whether in nonprofits or corporations, we all face the same human challenges: how to stay connected, grounded, and resilient. This keynote explores why intentional community is now essential to mission, meaning, and impact — and how we can each play a role in rebuilding it.

Cécile will frame the conversation, then invite us to experience the power of community firsthand. The goal: to explore how this shared experience can inspire new ways of strengthening connection, purpose, and belonging across the Alliance Française network.

Cécile Moulard is a tech entrepreneur, board director, and founder of MixR — a platform that helps organizations create real community inside the workplace. She launched Amazon.fr, took Meetic to IPO, and now works at the intersection of AI, leadership, and human connection. In a world moving faster than most companies can adapt, she sees community as essential infrastructure — a way to ground people, build trust, and remember that we are human... even through accelerating change.
