Event Summary

Our show in Cannes was a perfect blend of French charm and magic. With beachside sessions and poolside breaks, it was an unforgettable experience. The event’s magic wasn’t limited to the theatre; we also live-streamed it to a global audience, adding an extra layer of intensity and excitement to the performances.

Event Theme

The Obstacle is The Way

The theme for the show in Cannes 2019 was “The Obstacle is The Way”, inspired by Ryan Holiday’s book of the same title. Presenters explored how obstacles can be transformed into opportunities for growth and transformation, sharing their own stories of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. This inspiring event was held live in Cannes, and also streamed live online to a global audience, allowing attendees from around the world to join in on the conversation.

    Inspired. Connected. Now what? It’s Monday morning and the real work begins. For ten years we’ve celebrated the beautiful stuff—the creative breakthroughs, the stunning portfolios, the moments that make you fall in love with this industry. But we’ve never dedicated an entire event to what actually makes it all possible: the unsexy stuff. The spreadsheets. The systems. The difficult conversations. The repetitive tasks that don’t get likes but build businesses that last. This year, our presenters strip away the highlight reel and show you the meat and potatoes—the boring, essential work that bridges inspiration and sustainability. It’s not glamorous. But it’s real. And it’s the answer to “now what?”
