The festival as a dose of inspiration
„Above all, it’s inspiration — a dose of inspiration!
The Cannes Lions Festival has become a cultural event in the media industry. Just one visit is enough to make you want to return every year. It’s a true celebration of advertising, and sometimes also a marketplace of vanity, but everyone is there — global advertising titans, film stars, journalists, celebrities, writers, global media, and all those working in the ecosystem of media, advertising, technology, and creation. This means every guest has the opportunity to meet top industry figures, listen to interesting speeches, and get inspired by learning from the biggest names in the world of media. One of my favorite aspects of the event is also the music, which always sets the mood and features performances at an incredible level — some artists can only be seen here. Add to that technological innovations often experienced for the first time in the world. This year, we expect not only the heads of major global advertising groups, but also John Cho, Anna Wintour, Iggy Pop, and Gwyneth Paltrow… All this makes the Cannes Lions Festival one of my favorite events on the global industry map.” — Małgorzata Węgierek, CEO Havas Media Group in Poland.
When and where the festival takes place
Participation in the Cannes Lions Festival is a significant distinction and also a confirmation of the highest quality communication. This year, an exceptional group of creators, jurors, and participants will meet in France from June 18–25, 2016. The festival is also the only true global gathering place for advertisers and experts in advertising and marketing communications.
