Today's programme will feature brands - including Twitch, RedBird Capital Partners, New Balance and more - as well as athletes, George Russell and Maria Sharapova. The full content programme can be found here.
LIONS Sport is open to all Press Pass holders. However, capacity is limited, so we recommend arriving early to secure your spot.
Awards show seating for photographers and press
This year, press allocation for Awards Shows will be done on a first come first served basis with accredited photographers given priority.
We have a limited number of seats available. If you wish to attend the evening Awards Shows then please head to the dedicated Press desk at the bottom of the red carpet steps for 18:15pm CEST.
If we are unable to seat you downstairs in the Lumière, then we will try our best to get you a seat elsewhere, but we ask for your patience and understanding while our team tries to accommodate everyone.
Podcast recording
For those looking to record a podcast onsite or record an audio clip, we now have a dedicated podcast booth. Located just outside of the press centre, the space seats four people.
We can provide a cable to connect from our dashboard to your audio interface, however, we cannot provide SD cards.
If you are interested in booking the space, please reach out to the team at press@canneslions.com.
