Timeline
Throughout the event cycle timeline, speakers will be in communication with the Learning team.
01
YOU'VE BEEN CONFIRMED
You have met the conditions to speak in Cannes and your submission has been accepted.
As soon as this happens, upload speaker bios and headshots, talk synopsis and thumbnail to the Speaker Portal.
02
PROMOTE YOURSELF AS A SPEAKER
The ‘Promotional Assets’ tab of the Speaker Portal has detailed information on how you can promote your session. Academy speakers will also receive a personalised promotional asset which we encourage you to share on your social channels.
We will also announce speakers on the relevant section of the Cannes Lions web page and in marketing communications.
03
BEGIN SESSION DELIVERY
There are certain logistical steps that are imperative to ensure your experience onsite and throughout your talk goes smoothly.
To note: All content is subject to the Cannes Lions Learning team’s approval and an official slot is only confirmed if all the content is agreed (topics, format, speakers etc.). If a speaker drops out or the content changes, we reserve the right to revoke the offer of a slot.

SECURING ACCOMMODATION
To secure accommodation, you must have a Festival Pass. Speakers are responsible for paying for their own hotel. The later you book accommodation, the fewer options there will be. The deadline for accommodation is 28 April 2023. However, our team will try to help you find suitable accommodation right up until the event.
05
COMPLETE YOUR TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS 19 MAY 2023
You must inform us on what is expected for your session. Please complete the 'Technical Survey’ tab on the Speaker Portal. The Festival provides a standard AV package - should you require materials outside of this (e.g. for a demo), the Learning team needs to be informed in advance and the cost must be covered by the talk host.
06
REGISTERING FOR A PASS 12 MAY 2023
All confirmed speakers receive a complimentary full week Speaker Pass to the Festival, giving them access to the Palais every day of the week.
THE FESTIVAL: 19-23 JUNE, 2023
The Learning team is with you all the way, from the moment you arrive to the moment you set foot in the classroom - giving you the confidence and resources to deliver the best talk possible.
Enjoy it!
