The heart of the event will be an award-winning documentary "Show Her the Money" about the unstoppable rise of female investors and entrepreneurs who are reshaping industries and redefining success. Through powerful, real-life stories, the film shows why investing in women isn't just fair — it's the smartest investment the world can make
After over 100 acclaimed screenings across the United States, the film is arriving in Europe — and Affina Space Conference will host the exclusive premiere in France

Mission
In France and globally, women make up less than 12% of startup founders and raise less than 3% of VC investments. This is a significant injustice, given that female-led startups could generate 2.5x more revenue per dollar invested, as women can demonstrate better leadership, business, and creative skills
We unite the worlds of innovation, venture capital, and luxury into one powerful ecosystem. We go beyond the traditional format — mixing experts from different industries, uniting cultures, and driving new approaches

This is an intimate gathering of brilliant women — founders, investors, creators, and visionaries — curated with intention. If you’re building something bold or backing what matters, you just might find yourself on the guest list.
Yes. While the event is invite-only, we welcome applications from women whose work aligns with our mission. If that sounds like you, simply fill out the request form — and our team will be in touch if it’s a match.
No, there’s no ticket to purchase. Attendance is complimentary for invited guests — but space is limited, and each seat is intentionally offered.
The entire day will be held in English — our guests are coming from across Europe (and beyond), and we want everyone to feel part of the conversation.
The event will be held at Le Village by CA Paris, a unique location and the center of the largest French startup ecosystem. Full access details will be shared with confirmed guests.
Of course. Think less awkward mingling, more meaningful moments. The day is designed for real connections — whether over panels, cocktails, or quiet corners of conversation.
Whatever makes you feel powerful, polished, and perfectly yourself. We suggest business casual with a personal twist — this is Paris, after all.
As much as we love a plus-one, every seat is curated. If you’d like to recommend someone for the guest list, feel free to share their details with us.
Yes — we’re capturing the magic. If you’d prefer to stay out of frame, just let us know when you arrive.
This gathering is brought to you by Affina Space— a global space for ambitious women redefining career, confidence, and well-being — with the support of partners who believe in women’s power to shape the future.
