The 'rules'
1.
We don’t charge a fee for speaking on any of the stages.
2.
If your idea is successful, the cost related to the logistics behind your idea (travel, fees, accommodation) must be covered by you, the talk host.
3.
All speakers receive a complimentary Festival pass.
4.
All content must be original and fresh, created specifically for the Festival.
5.
Due to high demand, we aim to only feature a speaker/organisation once in the official Cannes Lions Festival Programme. We also prefer to have speakers who appear exclusively on the official programme and are not speaking elsewhere.
6.
You, the session holder, are responsible for conception, creation and execution of your talk. However, all speaker confirmation/changes and all content development must be approved by the Content team.
7.
Successful proposals are chosen on the merit of the idea and the speaker.
