The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is an annual global event for the advertising, marketing and creative communications industries, bringing together agencies, brands, media owners and creative professionals. Organised by LIONS (part of Ascential), the Festival features awards judged by international juries, keynote talks, panels, and networking programmes across multiple stages at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. The event showcases and recognises creative work across categories such as film, design, media, digital craft, and brand marketing, and also runs talent and impact programmes to support emerging and underrepresented practitioners.
