People Like Us x Financial Times, Cannes

Tuesday, 23rd June

We’re thrilled to announce that speaker slots are now open for our landmark People Like Us event in partnership with the Financial Times, taking place on Tuesday 23rd June during Cannes Lions.

This is more than another networking event, it’s a celebration of outstanding creative work and bold, inclusive thinking, in a room full of allies and some of the industry’s sharpest minds.

If you’re already attending Cannes and want to take the stage, apply now to be considered as a speaker. Just fill in the short form below by Friday 8 May, 5pm. Please note that we are unable to cover travel or accommodation costs, for this event. We will select five speakers who will be notified on the week following the deadline. Keep an eye on our Events page for details on tickets!

Our quarterly events bring together 11 diverse voices from the creative industries, each sharing a piece of work they’re proud of in just three minutes. Speakers are paired with a senior mentor beforehand, and the room is packed with a famously friendly crowd from right across the industry. Relaxed, celebratory, and genuinely purposeful. Speaker applications for this event close on Thursday, 10th September.

Please note that this is a free event to attend, and we’re unfortunately unable to cover travel costs for speakers.

YOUR DETAILS


Disclaimer

Our events are open to absolutely everyone, however speaker slots are reserved for people of colour working across PR, creative, marketing, social media, film, design, and journalism.

About You


ABOUT YOUR WORK

We ask speakers to present a piece of work they're proud of (in just three minutes each!). What would you like to talk to us about (don't worry, this isn't set in stone and can be changed later). Please note this does not have to be a D+I campaign. Tell us about your wild PR stunts, banging influencer campaigns, an investigative journalism piece that had many twists and turns.

MENTORSHIP

We like to pair up each of our speakers with a mentor, someone experienced in the industry that can support on your presentation and also as a sounding board going forward. What type of individual would you find helpful? This can be broad or specific as you like - we'll match you up closely to your interest points as we can.
