In partnership with Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity

Celebrate a year of creativity with genre defining work, an industry leading jury selection and 20 years of Future Lions.

Our team joins prestigious awarding juries across Titanium, Innovation, Sustainable Development Goals and Brand Experience Lions. AKQA will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of Future Lions on the Palais main stage and at Journal House. Throughout the week our creative leads will demonstrate the latest immersive technology and recognise the most impactful work creating the future, faster.
