To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Audiens are putting on a big celebration Wednesday June 7 from 7 p.m., with a very successful party held at its headquarters in Vanves, as well as on its huge terrace. Many personalities from the world of culture and the media, among others, including Minister Rima Abdul Malak, were present.
In his speech, Frédéric Olivennes, CEO of Audiens, paid tribute to the 600 people who make the group and underlined that it had succeeded in maintaining its independence in a sector where players are very important: "One one of our strengths lies in our ability to offer services of often unbeatable value for money", he underlined, announcing also that the group was expanding and would continue to grow. He declared "want to strengthen social actions, accelerate digitization, in particular the development of the mobile application, and preserve all the expertise of the group ".
For her part, the Minister of Culture, Rima Abdul Malak, recalled that "in France, we protect artists and show technicians but, even more, we support them throughout their career, taking into account the nature of their intermittent activity and the conditions of employment”. She reaffirmed her “total commitment to preserve this unique model” and congratulated Audiens for its “efficiency and creativity during the health crisis”, also underlining the constant attention paid by the group to societal changes. "Audiens is a key contributor to the observation of the sector, actively participating in the CNPS employment observation commission, which is of crucial importance", she concluded.
A very rich cultural program
A very rich cultural program took place throughout the evening. Participants were able to see an excerpt from Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky in a choreography by Rudolf Nureyev danced by Myriam Ould-Braham, star dancer of the Paris Opera, and Mickaël Lafon, dancer of the Paris Opera.
