Alongisde this, two juries will judge the best in Innovation and Creative Data Lions, with the winners being honoured at the Lions Innovation Awards Ceremony on Friday 26 June. Lions Innovation takes place across 25-26 June in the Lerins Hall in the Palais des Festivals and all Cannes Lions delegates have access to the Festival in its launch year. Cannes Lions Beach Open to all Cannes Lions delegates, the new Cannes Lions Beach - opposite the famous Carlton hotel - is an area to network, take a break and enjoy exclusive talks throughout the day. A full programme can be found online or in the Cannes Lions app. Masters of Creativity A new Cannes Lions training programme, Masters of Creativity will help talent working in the creative communications industry make the transition into senior management. Offering a five-day professional qualification, the programme will be led by eight world-class ‘masters’ and takes place from 22-26 June in Cannes. Creative Effectiveness Advisory Scheme This scheme offered entrants into the 2015 Creative Effectiveness Lions a consultation with senior, multi award-winning industry thought-leaders, strategists and analysts to help them craft their submissions. 160 entries were received into the category this year, an increase of 80 on 2014. The Work This year for the first time delegates can take a guided tour of The Work – discussing emerging themes and trends and hearing feedback direct from the Jury room. There will be more official opportunities to meet with both the Jury and the winners, so delegates can ask questions about what really happens in the Jury room, and why the winning work was deemed worthy of a Lion. Exhibitions, screenings and interactive kiosks are all available on level -1 of the Palais. 62nd International Festival of Creativity – Cannes Lions 2015 2 INDEX 1.
