Pre-Cannes Connect for Creators @ Spotify

Cannes Lions isn't just for the big agencies. It's for creators like you, to learn, connect, create, build real relationships and convert your content to long term brand partnerships and deals.
Cannes Lions is one of the most powerful rooms in the creative industry. Brands, budgets, and deals get made there. And for a long time, creators who looked like us weren't in that room.
That's changing.

The Event:
This event will be hosted at Spotify's London HQ, where essential discussions about Cannes Lions for independent creators will take place. We're talking costs, accreditation, how to pitch yourself, what Spotify Beach actually offers creators, and how to turn a week in the South of France into real opportunities when you get home.
Whether you're a podcaster, a musician, a multi-platform creator, or a niche expert building something quietly brilliant , this EVENT is for you.
Come ready to ask the questions nobody usually answers out loud.
Cost:
This event is FREE to attend!

Agenda:
There'll be a fantastic selection of speakers, including Mercedes Benson, Ndu Uchea and Laura Njoku. Enjoy complimentary food, drinks and the Create Connect DJ all night and connect with likeminded creators.
What we're getting into:
Why Cannes Lions matters for independent creators (and why you should be in the room)
Honest first-timer advice, what to expect, what to skip, and what to not miss
How to make it happen on a real budget
Turning connections into actual opportunities after the festival
What Spotify for Creators actually gives you, growth, monetisation, and access.
