IRG Cannes Summit 2024: CMO Impact

Connect with peers and experts to focus on increasing CMO impact and driving more Humanized Growth.

Situated just 25 minutes from Nice Airport and the Cannes Festival, the IRG campus sits in the picturesque historic town of Saint Paul de Vence. Known for its modern & contemporary art and as a haven for artists like Pablo Picasso, there is no better place to inspire creativity and learning for the first two days of our summit. We then take the IRG Summit to Cannes for a celebration ceremony at the WPP Beach on the Croisette on Monday, and a week full of IRG and IRG partner events at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.

This year's summit brings together participants and contributors from all IRG programs and includes inspirational speakers, engaging workshops and small group sparring sessions.

IRG Summit Dates: Friday 14 - Monday 17 June 2024
