Cannes Lions 2026: Moments That Mattered

ATM was on the ground at Cannes Lions 2026 for the conversations, the people, and the creativity that make this the industry's most important week of the year. From brand activations to main stage panels to the moments in between, this is what showing up looks like.

The Vibe That Unlocks the What-If: Cannes creates a different kind of conversation. More open, more curious, and more willing to go somewhere unexpected than anything that happens in a boardroom. That energy is what makes the week worth showing up for. 🌊

Yahoo Brought Curiosity to Life: Allie Galloway, Senior Director of Global Events and Experiential Marketing at Yahoo, on sharing products with people in an innovative and thoughtful way. Curiosity was the through line of everything Yahoo brought to Cannes this year. 💡

The Brands That Showed Up: Spotify. Disney. NBCU. WPP Media. Dentsu. DirecTv Advertising. The industry's biggest names brought their best thinking to the festival of creativity and ATM was there for every conversation. 🎬

The Talent That Made It Real: Ryan Seacrest. Andrew Ross Sorkin. Lindsay Hubbard. Tim Ellis. The faces and voices that made this year's festival one worth remembering. 🎤

The Moments Between the Moments: The best conversations at Cannes never happen on stage. They happen in the hallway exchanges, the beach brunches, and the happy hours where the real ideas start. 💡
