Established in 1954, the 64th International Festival of Creativity takes place between 17-24 June in Cannes, France.

15,000 people from around 100 countries came last year. This year, we're expecting more brand leaders than ever before and the world’s most innovative tech companies and start-ups, along with creative people from all walks of life.
Cannes Lions is the home of great ideas. As campaigners for creativity, we make the case for creativity and inspire the creative community. We do this because we truly believe that creativity is the driving force for business, for change and for good.

During one week in June each year, Cannes transforms into a global meeting place of anyone engaged in technology, advertising, media, marketing, design, innovation and entertainment.

There are discussions, talks, parties, competitions, workshops, screenings and exhibitions, all dedicated to exploring the future of the creative industries. Four awards shows celebrate the most ground-breaking work in brand communications, across industries and in 16 different media categories, from film and interactive to design, innovation and media.

Winning a Lion trophy is widely considered the greatest accolade in the industry and is often career-changing.
