The Comms Council is proud to be the official representative of Cannes Lions in Aotearoa, where the global advertising and communications industry meets to celebrate the best creative work.
Cannes Lions is the ultimate platform for groundbreaking insights, world-class learning, and unrivalled networking with the brightest minds in the industry.
With the global advertising industry coming together in June, you’ll learn from the biggest ideas, meet like-minded people and get inspired by the best.
See groundbreaking creativity come to life when work is awarded, and when influential thought leaders take the stage. People from all over the world will be there, so you can meet those you don’t usually cross paths with, and those you do. Experience the biggest brands first-hand, or bring your own business to the world stage.
Wherever you’re at in your creative career, coming to Cannes Lions will leave you with unmatched learnings, experiences and connections. Arrive curious, leave inspired.
