Cannes in Cairns will be entering its third year in 2024 and, with the notoriously difficult second album out the way, we’ll be heading to Tropical North Queensland in June for the best advertising, marketing and creativity conference in APAC.
Now, we’ve already told you not to take our word for it and hear the thoughts of last year’s attendees but, in case you need extra justification here are eight reasons why Cannes in Cairns is not only unbeatable but unmissable.
Cost-Effective Investment:

Of course, with such an esteemed selection of attendees, you can build connections that could lead to even closer working relationships.
