Cannes lions 2026 | June 21-26
Join Vantage in Cannes
From coastal breakfasts to quiet conversations at MediaLink Beach, we’re creating experiences where you can connect at your own pace.
A more intentional way to spend Cannes
Cannes moves quickly. Good conversations need a little more room.
Spaces made for you
We’re creating space for the conversations that are hard to have between packed panels, hallway run-ins, and back-to-back meetings.
Our curated events are desigend to bring together retail media leaders, partners, and friends of Vantage in a more relaxed setting.
Whether you’re joining us for a coastal morning escape, an early-week welcome reception, or a quieter conversation at our private lounge, we’d love to spend time together in Cannes.
Our events
We took care of the planning for you. Just bring yourself, we’ll handle the rest.
