Over 64 years, Cannes Lions has evolved into an eight-day extravaganza of inspiration, networking and learning, embracing all aspects of the branded communications industry and celebrating the outstanding work it produces.

Since the first festival in 1954, we’ve brought the global communications industry together each year, arming its members with the connections, the education, the benchmark and the inspiration needed to campaign for creativity within their own organisations.

With more than 16,000 attendees from nearly 100 countries now coming to Cannes Lions each year, we are a truly global meeting place where branded communications professionals can make new contacts, talk industry issues, learn new skills and receive recognition for their work – all in the idyllic setting of the French Riviera.

The iconic Palais des Festivals sits at the heart of the Festival, but official Cannes Lions events go well beyond the Palais walls.

Make Cannes Lions 2018 a week to remember by expanding your footprint beyond the Palais and organise your own event during the Festival.

Whether you are thinking of a drinks reception, dinner, a meeting or a huge party, our team can assist you in pulling together the perfect affair.
