TALENT & TRAINING

Cannes Lions is dedicated to nurturing the young talent of this industry: the students, young creatives, up-and-coming marketing talent, agency executives and young directors. Through our Young Lions competitions and tailored academies, we aim to inspire, educate and grow the fresh blood that this industry is built on.

At the same time, the Festival recognises that creative growth is a process that never stops. That’s why there is diverse learning on offer to suit every career stage. As well as the huge range of seminars and workshops open to delegates, the Cannes Creative Leaders Programme provides intensive training for those seeking an even more professionally rewarding Cannes Lions experience. The goal is for every delegate to leave Cannes more inspired, more aware and more prepared for new professional challenges.

Industry legends share their experience with the next generation

The master class programme at Cannes Lions is unique at the Festival. The daily sessions in the Young Lions Zone give the next generation of creatives, account executives and marketers the chance to learn from industry legends in a relaxed and informal environment.
