The digital advertising community is preparing to gather once again on the sun-soaked shores of the French Riviera for the Cannes Lions Festival 2026, taking place from 22th to 26th June. Known for its blend of creativity, insight, and inspiration (and a splash of rose and glamour), the festival remains one of the most anticipated moments in the industry calendar.
This year, IAB Europe is excited to return to Cannes to connect with leaders, spark conversations, and showcase the pivotal work we’re driving across Retail Media, Connected TV, and more.
Our team will be on the ground and available to share insights, discuss industry developments and opportunities, and highlight how our initiatives can support your strategic goals.
