Creativity has never mattered more.

We’re back for the 3rd edition of our Creativity Conference — Cannes Lions Unpacked — in collaboration with LIONS.

Join us to cut through the noise to bring you the boldest ideas, sharpest minds, and most relevant insights from Cannes Lions and all reframed through the lens of Asia.

This year, we’ll also be joined by IAA, as we come together to celebrate the community and the industry as one.

Why attend?
- Because your brand can't afford creativity that doesn’t deliver.
- Because the best ideas today are coming from places you’re not yet looking.
- And because in a world of AI, budget pressure, and shifting consumer expectations, creativity is still your most underleveraged growth lever.

Join a room full of marketing leaders and walk away with:

  • Proven examples of brand-building through creativity with measurable impact
  • Exclusive intelligence on what’s persuading the C-suite to back bold ideas
  • New provocations to rethink how you lead, brief, and inspire teams
  • A regional view on what creativity means for Asia, now and next

Ed Pank is our host this year. Find the agenda and our current speaker lineup below, with more to follow.

This event is available both in person and online.
