Omnicom Heads to Cannes Lions 2026

NEW YORK, June 1, 2026 - From June 22-26, 2026, Omnicom (NYSE: OMC) will be at the 73rd Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, where the world's industry-leading work is awarded, influential thought leaders take the stage and global connections are made. Attending for the first time as the new Omnicom, the company will use the Festival as a defining moment to showcase how it is leading a new era of marketing with the industry's deepest bench of creative talent, backed by leading proprietary data and powered by Omni.

The Omnicom Space returns to the Croisette again this year, serving as the company's hub for connection and insight. Throughout the week, it will host thought leadership sessions, partner programming, client conversations, and curated experiences - all designed to unite the people and perspectives shaping the future of creativity, media, and brand impact. Global talent across Omnicom's comprehensive portfolio of capabilities will explore how influence is built, earned, and amplified in today's dynamic landscape. Those interested in attending can RSVP at cannes2026.omc.com.

Omnicom's presence will extend far beyond its dedicated space, however.
