Press Bulletin

The 73rd edition of Cannes Lions is quickly approaching, and we hope you’re as excited as we are for a non-stop week of learning, networking and celebrating groundbreaking creativity.  

We apologise for the delay in sending this across, but please find the latest updates and news from the Press Office. 

Join us for our Pre-Festival Delegate Webinar on Thursday 21 May at 2pm BST. Whether you’re a first-timer or just need a refresher, the Webinar will cover everything you need to know to make the most out of your Festival experience from where to pick up your pass to what’s happening across our stages. Register your interest here.  

We have also launched our interview room booking platform for the 2026 Festival. Bookings can be made here.*  

The 2026 Content Programme continues to evolve with our Talent & Culture stream expanding with new speakers, Maurice Lévy, Arthur Sadoun and Suzanne Vranica, for their session ‘Celebrating Creativity Made in France’. 

The Insights & Trends stream also expands with the ‘From Franchise to Frenzy: The Global Fandom Engine’ session, featuring Alan Cumming, Colin Jost, Seth Meyers and Rachel Zoe.

Press Accreditation closes on Monday 15 June 2026, 11.59PM BST. 

If any of your colleagues still need to register then please let them know. 

We cannot guarantee capacity to process additional press accreditations during the Festival or after this date. The Cannes Lions Press Team reserves the right to decline late or onsite requests.

If you're unable to attend the Festival in person, we don't want you to miss out! You can still attend Cannes Lions through our digital experience, by applying for press accreditation and getting access to Festival talks on demand, Awards Shows and live-streamed sessions.

Please reach out to the Press Team with any questions you may have.
