What We Did

At Cannes Lions 2026, Elevate Global partnered with 16 clients, including META, TikTok, Pinterest, Yahoo, and Reddit, to provide experienced event staff across a packed 5-day schedule. Positioned at key touchpoints, including entrances, event spaces, and VIP areas, our teams managed guest welcome, check-ins, registration, session support, and guided visitors through activations and hospitality areas to help maintain smooth guest flow throughout the event as the festival welcomed over 13,000 delegates from 90+ countries.

How We Did It

With increased demand for diverse and gender-balanced teams, we worked closely with clients to meet these goals. Recruitment began early, and we kept staff engaged with regular communications to ensure strong retention and commitment. Wherever possible, we prioritised locally based, bilingual staff with previous Cannes Lions experience – ensuring cultural fluency, smoother logistics, and authentic guest engagement. We remained on-site throughout the week, adjusting schedules where needed and advising clients on local labour laws to help ensure smooth delivery from start to finish.
