Late June· Palais des Festivals, Cannes

Power Private jet Superyacht

Why the circuit stops here

The advertising Oscars became the media industry’s Davos: tech platforms rent the beach, holding companies rent the yachts, and a year of ad budgets is steered from the Croisette.

The money signal

Beachfront cabana takeovers run seven figures for the week, paid for from the world’s ad budgets.

Who's there

Big-tech CMOs and platform chiefs, agency holding-company brass, media owners.

How they arrive

  • Private aviation is the default: expect FBO slots and hotel helipads to be the real constraint, not tickets.
  • The harbour is the venue: berths book out months ahead and the best parties happen on deck, not on shore.
