Wow what a week at CANNES LIONS 2026



Cannes came to life for Cannes Lions, a five-day International Festival of Creativity, is the largest gathering in the creative marketing community. Held annually in the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, South of France, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is home to the world's most prestigious advertising awards. Celebrating creativity, effectiveness and innovation in the global advertising, marketing and communication industries – it's where creatives and marketers from around the world come together to celebrate history in the making.

The whole town was completely transformed into a village of creativity, from the famous Croisette which was a beauty of design and creative art. From every leader having a stage house, Google, Tiktok, Microsoft, Amazon, Pinterest,Spotify, Linkedin, Netflix to name just a few.

 

Right Riviera also played their part by supporting their clients attending, from pre-event planning to executing onsite event management for a week of successful events.

As you can imagine like many events there is much planning and the fine detail can make all the difference to a successful and memorable event to being mediocre, that’s where we come in, being based in Cannes with our many years of experience, contacts and knowledge we make it happen.

 

Cannes as a destination is rather unique, being a very accessible town, an amazing infrastructure, and of course the breath-taking views of sunny skies and blue ocean. The foundation is there, these events build on top of this and that’s what makes it so special, with the majority of the event space being outside you actually know where you are and not just another indoor congress centre/exhibition.

Cannes is an all-year destination for festivals and events, we know what we are doing, also to note Cannes has been names Europe’s Best Destination for Festivals and events for 4 consecutive years by the World Travel Awards. Now that is something to be proud of. I certainly am.

So should you your company your client be considering where to host their next event why not consider Cannes in the beautiful South of France,

Or do you or your clients attend any of the annual events #MIPIM, #Cannes Film Festival, #MIPCOM, #MAPIC, #Tax Free, #Luxury Travel Market. Need someone on the grounds who understands how things work and make things happen with professionalism, a fast reliable service, discretion. then come to us at Right Riviera you will not be disappointed, check our website and see what our clients say.
