The FOMO is real, but you don’t have to miss out on talks from the world’s top communication experts. This year, you can tune in to everything happening on the main festival stage — from your office, your couch or wherever you are.
Preparations are in full swing for our 11th edition, taking place from May 15 to 18, where thousands of creatives, marketers, PR pros, digital experts and communication lovers will gather once again. From the world’s most innovative CMO (according to Business Insider) to the most awarded Cannes Lions winner, from the most influential cyborg anthropologist to the top global expert on the attention economy, from the leading authority on pricing creative services to the Internet’s Savviest Troll — this year’s lineup is anything but ordinary.
