What We're Planning
As the leading voice on Brand & AI Safety, we have plans with our partners, Basis, CVS Media Exchange, Google, HUMAN, IAS, and TikTok (and more to come), for content not to be missed.
Across a series of curated sessions and private gatherings throughout the week, we’re bringing together leaders from brands, agencies, platforms, and ad tech for candid conversations about what’s actually shifting in the industry right now — and what it means moving forward.
If you’ll be on the ground and would like to attend one of our events, request an invitation below.
All sessions are for confirmed invites only.
Please plan to arrive 30 minutes prior to starting time.

Commerce media is one of the fastest-growing channels in advertising — and one of the most complex. As products, data, and media move across platforms, the questions around fraud, transparency, and verification keep multiplying. We're kicking off Cannes with HUMAN to trace the commerce media journey from shelf to data to media — and what it takes to keep it clean.
4:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Shoppertainment is commerce media meets creator marketing — QVC built for the platforms of today. Creators move product through entertainment, not interruption, which raises the questions that actually matter: how do you measure what drove the sale, how do you vet the creator, and how do you keep the environment safe when content is live, fast, and creator-controlled? Platform, brands, and measurement infrastructure in the same room, defining the operating model.
2:00 PM – 2:30 PM
