How it works
We are creating an interactive learning experience with the marketer at the heart of the programme. This will not be just another Zoom presentation. This is three hours of inspiring content, per day, across three days curated by Jim and Cannes Lions.
Pre-event, we connect with attendees and gather individual ‘burning issues’ to help map out a targeted programme. Jim will evaluate and explore these issues in a series of roundtable sessions, ensuring each one is addressed by the end of the programme.
Digital delivery creates unique opportunities to learn and network. The ‘live experience’ will combine guest speakers, workshops, quizzes, fast-fire panel shows as well as live polls and Q&A throughout.
