The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2020 will no longer be taking place 26-30 October 2019 as previously planned.

The announcement came from the Cannes Lions who stated:

The decision follows in-depth consultations with our partners and customers and reflects the unprecedented societal, health and economic challenges currently facing the world, as well as our desire to remove any uncertainty about the running of the awards and event for our partners and customers. Cannes Lions at its core has always been about creativity and the Lions. We realise that the creative community has other challenges to face, and simply isn’t in a position to put forward the work that will set the benchmark. You can read today’s announcement in full here on our website.

Your ticket will be transferred directly to our next edition in 2021 – no further action is required from you at this time. We look forward to seeing you there next year as we bring our industry together once again to recognise the world’s best creative work.
