Cannes Lions
International festival of creativity
It takes place 17 – 24 June 2017.
Last year, Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the world’s biggest ad event was full of great stuff, as usual. Networking and meet-ups were held at the Cannes Lion Beach along with live entertainment. There were also parties and galas which made the event uplifting, and then there was also a beach club, clubhouse and a bar all dedicated for connecting and networking with other people. June is just somewhere around the corner and is getting closer which means Lions Cannes will eventually happen soon. There will be lots of new and exciting things to look forward to in the event and I will be mentioning the upcoming highlights of this year’s event.
With their creative thinking, some of the biggest names in music and films to legendary business leaders such as Adi Shankar, a creator and producer of many great films and is best known for being the youngest producer to have a number one film at the North American Box Office and he will be one of the featured speakers for this year’s event.
