Dates and organisation
Cannes Lions 2027 takes place from Monday 21 to Friday 25 June, at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes. The festival is organised by LIONS, owned by the Informa group; born in Venice in 1954, it settled in Cannes in 1984.
It brings together talks, jury sessions, themed forums and Lions award ceremonies and, around the Palais, a week of meetings and receptions on the beaches, yachts and terraces.
Passes
Passes are sold by the organiser, in the name of each participant; their resale is prohibited by its terms, and the replacement of a delegate is provided for under the conditions it sets. Several levels coexist, from Classic to Platinum, as well as themed forum passes.
TGZ Conciergerie neither sells nor resells any pass: we can arrange their purchase from the organiser, in the name of each delegate. Our guide How to Attend Cannes Lions? details each level.
Stay and journeys
The Croisette puts the Palais within walking distance; the villas in the hills of Cannes and on the Cap d'Antibes make it possible to house a delegation and entertain. Everything is booked early for late June, often with a minimum stay.
You arrive at Nice Côte d'Azur, about 27 km away, or by private jet at Cannes-Mandelieu depending on the size of the aircraft; the helicopter links Nice to Cannes in a few minutes of flight. Our guides Where to Stay During Cannes Lions? and How to Get to Cannes Lions? go into detail.
Hosting and dress code
Yachts, privatised beaches, villas and terraces host the week's receptions; they are booked months in advance. Evenings organised by other companies are by invitation of their host and cannot be bought.
The festival imposes no dress code: the custom is summer elegance, professional by day, dressier in the evening.
