Delegate registration open for Cannes Lions 2009

For the first time this year, the Young Lion package is available to young professionals in the fields of marketing and communication working for marketing organisations and client companies who also wish to benefit from the unique opportunity attending the Festival provides.

Comments Philip Thomas, festival CEO, "At the heart of Cannes Lions is creativity, the crucial differentiator for any business, especially those in the world of communications. With the current economic climate creating new issues to be addressed by the industry, those attending the festival will have the unique opportunity to celebrate the best of global creativity, learn from their peers around the world, and help map the way forward for what we all know will be a year of change and challenge."

Delegates can select a three-day, four-day, full week or full week with companion registration package, providing access to over 50 topical seminars, 25 educative workshops, screenings, exhibitions, four award ceremonies, two galas and one of the greatest networking opportunities the advertising industry has to offer.

Now in its third year, and going from strength to strength, is the student registration package.
