Bringing the creative communications industry together.

Each year, Cannes Lions brings together people who believe in the power of creativity from across the globe, for a week of celebrating, exploring, learning and networking. Join us from Monday 19 to Friday 23 June 2023.

Our Awards celebrate new ideas shaping the next wave of creativity. The School inspires the next generation of leaders. You can also network with your global colleagues and discover the best talent in the world.

Though the definition of creativity changes all the time: it undeniably drives progress for people, business and society. Cannes Lions celebrates, facilitates, and substantiates creativity in all its forms – helping to prove its effectiveness, shape its future, and connect the future leaders of the industry.

We interrogate the methodologies, approaches and achievements of all types of companies: from tiny start-ups to huge multi-nationals. Anyone with original ideas can enter speaking submissions or awards entries, but only the bravest – and most effective – will make it on to the stage.

Our Cannes Lions scholarships and initiatives offer the opportunity to enjoy the Festival at little to no cost to yourself in order to connect and work with some of the biggest names in the industry. Get a head-start with the insights, events and connections you need for a powerful and balanced creative future.
