      Cannes Lions arrives at a defining moment for marketing; as agentic commerce, synthetic audiences, and the new science of buyer choice reshape how brands attract, convert, and retain customers. 

      On the Croisette, we’re bringing these shifts into focus. Join us at the Bain Speakeasy at the Mondrian Hotel – an intimate space for candid conversations with marketing leaders. We’ll also be hosting our exclusive CMO Dinner, where influential industry voices will come together for an honest exchange on what’s next. 

      With our largest presence at Cannes Lions to date, our team will be on the ground throughout the festival to share the sharpest thinking on marketing transformation with the leaders shaping what comes next.

      Events

      Synthetic Audiences are here to Stay

      Synthetic customers aren’t theoretical, and the teams that own them will win. We’ll unpack where they’re already driving impact and why this is marketing’s next frontier.

      Killed by the Prompt

      One vague brand claim and you’re out. Agentic commerce rewards sharp, specific, review-backed relevance, leaving everything else behind. We’ll break down how to survive the new rules of selection.

      The Insurgents Apéritif

      Join us for an early evening apéritif featuring cocktails and enriching conversations as we mark the 10th anniversary of Bain's Insurgent Brands report. We'll unpack how a small group of brands is driving FMCG growth and shaping the next era of consumer demand.

      Why B2B Buyers Choose You

      B2B, the “best” product doesn’t always win—the safest one does. From the company that brought the world NPS, this session introduces Likelihood to Buy (LTB), a simple, predictive metric that reveals how brands actually get chosen.

      Financial Services Breakfast Club

      A quiet, casual start for FS leaders to step away from Cannes chaos and connect with peers, with a few snackable insights on AI consumer behavior in FS.

      Squeezing Every Drop - or Getting Left Behind

      Most growth data is broken. Most decisions are siloed. And AI is about to expose both. We’ll unpack how leading companies are squeezing every drop from their investments—integrating marketing and trade, aligning teams around shared outcomes, and turning chaos into coordinated growth.

      Consumer Products Breakfast Club

      A relaxed start to the day for CP leaders to enjoy a selection of delicious French breakfast favorites, connect with peers over coffee, and hear a few thought-provoking insights to spark conversation.

      Cracking the Code on Repeatable Growth in CPG

      Join fellow CP leaders for an open, candid conversation on building repeatable growth. Drawing on Bain's latest thinking, we'll explore reigniting volume-led growth by centering consumers, sharpening portfolios, embedding AI at scale, and growing the shopper penetration needed to win.
