FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the Catalyst Socials in Cannes?
Cannes Lions is all about connections -but its huge scale means that randomly bumping into travel industry peers is...unlikely. For the second year, we’ll be hosting a series of curated networking events in Cannes for travel industry professionals, during Cannes Lions. These events are designed to facilitate connections and unlock ‘unobvious’ synergies within and beyond the travel industry, during the largest gathering of the advertising and creative community. More information on dates and locations will be shared soon.
Who can register for these events?
Last year, 70+ professionals from 15+ countries and sectors like Tourism, Hospitality, Media, TravelTech and Creator Economy registered for the event. Cannes Lions delegates and non-delegates operating abroad and on the French Riviera are all welcome to register, however we carefully review each registration to ensure a balanced mix between client-side brand leaders, cross-sector experts and innovators. Think you’d be a great addition to the mix? Drop us a message, or connect on LinkedIn.
How can we cooperate?
If you represent a brand or independent business operating in the travel industry or related sectors and would like to collaborate on any of our initiatives, send us a message.
