FRANCE – Today is the day! Make sure you know the schedule of activities starting today until the end of the festival to make sure that you won’t be missing out on any of the most interesting (or controversial?) talks, and of course, the most awaited announcements of shortlists and winners.
To help you with that, adobo gives you the Cannes Lions 2015 Daily Creativity Guide. Whether you’re in France or you’re just following the festival online, here’s a cheat sheet to help you go through each day in an orderly manner.
It is also important to note that that timezone in Cannes is UTC +01:00. Adjust your (body) clocks!
The Palais opens at 8:00 in the morning while the Cannes Lions Beach opens 30 minutes later. Among others, these are the places where you can do networking meet ups, eat, and enjoy live entertainment throughout the week.
The screening of all the works will be running from 9:00am through the wee hours of the morning (a.k.a. 2:00am).
For Cannes first timers, it would be useful to take advantage of 30-minute How to Cannes Daily Tour. It’s happening today until Tuesday at 10:00am, 12:00nn and 9:00 in the evening. Just go to Level Zero and learn how to make the most out of the festival straight from the lion’s mouth (No? Okay.)
At 9:00am and 9:00pm, make sure to watch out for the announcement of shortlists for Mobile, Press and Innovation, and Direct and Promo & Activation respectively.
Cannes also got some pretty amazing line up of speakers to kick off the week-long festival including How to Survive a Zombie Attack (and Harness Cultural Trends to Grow Brands) featuring Dave Alpert, Executive Producer of the hit series The Walking Dead as one of the speakers; Meet the Disruptors: How Tinder Coupled Technology with Human Experience featuring Tinder Co-founder and President Sean Rad; The Next Decade of Social Media featuring Cheil Worldwide Chief Digital Officer Peter Kim, and many more.
