History was made at the Festival this year. Industry legends, global brands and people from more than 90 countries came together to celebrate world-class work. We saw first-ever Lion wins for Iceland and Kazakhstan, and hosted incredible Partner activations, including Stagwell Sport Beach, Amazon Port and Microsoft Beach House. Connections were formed, insights inspired and everyone learnt something new – from senior execs to those just starting out.
