Our final keynote was Navigating Self-Care and Recovery with the Pinkifying of Alcohol Marketing.

Internationally recognized researchers and women’s health advocates examined how the alcohol industry has “pinkified” its products, targeting women, and how women are responding - sometimes rejecting these tactics altogether through movements toward low- or no-alcohol use and sobriety.

This session sparked important conversations about health, empowerment, and reclaiming choice in the face of marketing pressures.
