Campaign has unveiled the agenda for Campaign House, its new home at Cannes Lions, at the Canopy by Hilton Cannes hotel.

The world’s biggest advertising industry title is hosting editorial and partner events across the week of the festival, with Campaign’s teams from the UK, US, Canada, Germany, India, Indonesia and Asia Pacific all taking part.

The highlight of day one (June 16) is 'The future of advertising in flux', a discussion between Campaign’s editors from around the world at 4.30 pm, followed by welcome drinks at 6 pm.

Luz Corona, editor of Campaign US, David Brown, co-editor of Campaign Canada, Maisie McCabe, UK editor of Campaign, and Nikita Mishra, editor of Campaign Asia, will take part in the session, moderated by Gideon Spanier, UK editor-in-chief.

Day two (June 17) includes 'The great global pitch shake-up”' at 3.30 pm when Kate Magee, global intelligence editor of Campaign Red, and Olivier Gauthier, founder of COMvergence, will discuss advertisers’ changing needs and how Omnicom’s acquisition of Interpublic is set to disrupt the agency pitch market.

Other highlights include 'Cannes Contenders: the work top creative chiefs think should win' at 9 am on day four (June 19) when McCabe will host a session with Lynsey Atkin, co-founder of Baby Teeth, David Kolbusz, chief creative officer at Orchard Creative, Tara Ford, chief creative officer at Droga5 UK and Ireland, and Micah Walker, co-founder of Bear Meets Eagle On Fire.

Campaign will be running sessions at Campaign House throughout each of the first four days of the festival, as well as hosting evening events on the hotel rooftop. Stablemates PRWeek, MM&M and Performance Marketing World are also hosting sessions at Campaign House.

It is the first time that Campaign has had a dedicated venue at Cannes Lions. Canopy by Hilton Cannes is located on the west side of the port, overlooking the main festival venue, the Palais des Festivals.

Other key events include the Campaign’s annual, invitation-only beach party at Carlton Beach.

Campaign’s sites around the world will be covering the countdown to the festival over the next two weeks and reporting on all the key news and winners of the Lions awards during the five-day event in the south of France.

Informa runs Cannes Lions after acquiring parent company Ascential last year. Haymarket, the owner of Campaign, has a joint venture with Lions on Spikes Asia.

Campaign House will be open daily from 8 am until 6 pm from Monday, June 16 to Thursday, June 19.
