Organised annually by the Cannes Lions, this international festival believes that creativity is the driving force for business, for change and for good.

The awards are a benchmark for creative excellence, rewarding the best work and brightest thinking. The Cannes Lions festival also brings together people that you might want to know - peers, collaborators and ideas catalysts, giving you the chance to meet, inspire and grow.

The week-long programme also consists of talks, seminars, workshops and over 40 inspirational speakers. Recent years saw the likes of Marie Kondo, Sophia Bush, Burger King's CMO Fernando Machado and Google's Ivy Ross, amongst some of the many celebrities who took to the stage and offered attendees some inspiration.
