The creative communications industry doesn’t stop moving. For those people with the tremendous responsibility of teaching our next generation of talent, making sure that learning programmes are up-to-date is hugely important.
The Summit enables educators to keep pace with industry change. This is a chance to build new, better curricula out of the most relevant content on offer at this year’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Educators will future-proof their courses and their graduates, with thought-leadership, lessons and insights to take back to their classrooms.
The Summit will feature 300 inspiring and original content sessions, presented across the five days of the Festival. Educators work collaboratively – watching as many sessions as possible, recording and sharing their notes.
Each day will also include an exclusive networking session with key industry partners will take place. Finally, the week concludes with a half-day summit on Friday 21 June, with tailored content designed to help bridge the growing gap between academia and industry.
Post-Festival, educators can watch sessions in full using our digital platform and update their curricula based on the sessions that are most relevant to the course they teach.
A full week ticket to Cannes Lions is available at a discounted rate exclusively for educators at €1,835 + TVA.
Alternatively, any educator who brings 5+ students (€845 + TVA each), receives a complimentary pass.
