Cannes was quite the experience of a lifetime. It was a week from hell, but it was at the same time exactly what I needed. I went to Cannes with the intention of not only learning about the industry I plan on working in one day, but to see what really makes the world tick. The work at Cannes, is the best work in innovation done around the globe, celebrating the works of many in not just our industry, but the world. I will remember the time I spent in Cannes for the rest of my life, and hopefully I can make it back one day for work. Listed below are the names of the majority of the lectures I was able to go to during my time in Cannes
