you, on the ground

Tell them who you are

Retail-media & advertiser buyers

find them at · Continental Port · Wavemark Beach

They hold the budgets the whole week is pitching. If you bring an audience or a story, they're the close.

Founder-voice & long-form creators

find them at · Vanguard Beach · LIONS Creators stage

The distribution for a story you're trying to land. The Palais brands keep saying this is exactly who they want.

Agency & talent leads

find them at · Carlton Terrace · the back bars

They own the next six weeks of any deal. Meet them here and the follow-up has an owner before the flight home.

Hospitality & destination sponsors

find them at · La Môme · Hôtel du Cap dinners

The briefs that fund travel and lifestyle creative. The off-strip dinners are where these actually get decided.

real rooms, real people · the roles are how the week actually breaks down · you're only ever matched to a real human who opted in too · nobody here is invented.
