Asia Pacific’s festival of creativity, Cannes in Cairns, is back for an even bigger and better third year — and there’s stuff you need to know.
Take a minute and add some of these dates in the diary, or don’t, and summit to major FOMO and a significantly less productive career.
As a reminder, with no less than 1,200 attendees this year, Cannes in Cairns has become a magnet for innovative and bold minds across APAC in the world of advertising, media, marketing, communications, tech and more.

From author and entrepreneur Zoë Foster Blake, investigative journalist at The Australian Hedley Thomas and award-winning Australian journalist, writer and radio/TV presenter Stan Grant, to executive chairman at S4 Capital, Sir Martin Sorrell and global head of marketing at Flight Centre, Clinton Hearne — the list of 2023 speakers has helped cement the event as an annual must-attend industry staple.
There’s also the Cairns Crocodiles Awards — an entirely new beast coming to Tropical North Queensland next year. See here for more on The Crocs.
