Festival Checklist

Cannes Lions is an incredible opportunity to take a deep dive into Award-winning creativity and unpack its impact on business with some of the best minds the industry has to offer. With so much incredible content to see, it can be tricky to know what to prioritise - so we've put together a checklist of our top tips to get you started.

✓	Be present and come up with a plan. Take a look at the Festival programme ahead of time and plan your week out. Which sessions, panels, tours and ceremonies are going to be the most useful and relevant to you and your business? Make use of Lions Daily News, available in the Palais de Festivals, to stay up to date and attend evening events to network and celebrate with fellow delegates.
✓	Calibrate your creativity. Visit the Basement to spend time with the work and attend our Inside The Jury Room sessions. Take note of general thoughts and feelings for the winning work - how do they measure up to your own analysis? Is your team on the same creative page as the rest of the industry?
✓	Be a sponge. Don’t arrive looking to confirm a preconceived hypothesis. Come with an open mind and find the lesson in every session. Take physical notes that you can bring back to your team. Look out for common trends, popular tools and innovative ideas.
✓	Don’t forget to debrief. Attending the Festival is step one, step two is debriefing your team and using your learnings to plan for the next year of improved creative effectiveness.
