Last year we showed up at Cannes for the first time. This year we’re building on it.
Alongside the Financial Times, we’re bringing together some of the most compelling creative voices on the global stage for an evening of honest conversation, bold work and genuine connection.
Places are limited and attendance is by application only. If you’re a senior leader in marketing, media or the creative industries and diversity and authentic representation sit at the heart of your work, we’d love to have you there. Apply for a complimentary in-person pass below.
16:00 to 19:00 CEST | Nikkei FT Teahouse, Cannes
This is a room built for people who’ve spent too long on the outside of conversations that should’ve included them from the start.
The Creative Exchange brings together five creatives and five campaigns made for minority audiences, plus the marketers, comms and creative professionals who want to make more work like it. Networking without the awkwardness, and a pub tab to make the whole thing even better.
We’re kicking off 2026 with our friends at Words+Pixels, bringing together the best of PR and comms freelancing under one roof. On 28 January, join us at the stunning Black & White Building in Shoreditch for an evening of new connections and fresh opportunities.
Expect a buzzing room of agency leads and freelance talent, all there to share ideas, swap contacts, and spark the next great project.
