Press conference Cannes: organising a press conference during a congress means addressing international media and decision-makers already gathered in Cannes. Cannes Exhibitions, an independent event agency for 20 years, runs turnkey press conferences at the heart of the Palais des Festivals — on land and at sea.
Press conference Cannes: why during a congress
During MIPIM®, Cannes Lions®, TFWA® or MIPCOM®, journalists, influencers and decision-makers are already on site. Announcing a launch, results or a partnership at that moment multiplies coverage, without flying the press in.
How a press conference unfolds
- Welcome and accreditation of journalists
- Keynote, presentation and demonstration
- Q&A session and one-to-one interviews
- Closing cocktail or networking (hybrid format)
Venues for a press conference in Cannes
A privatised Palais des Festivals hall, a Croisette reception space, a villa, an iconic restaurant or a moored yacht: we choose the venue based on your audience, the number of journalists and the level of confidentiality required.
Our turnkey service
Sound and light, photo and video capture, scenography, backdrop, hosts, accreditation management and day-of coordination: a single point of contact runs everything. Discover our event planner in Cannes approach and our product launch page.
Press conference + cocktail: the hybrid format
Many brands combine a press conference with a networking cocktail: the official announcement, followed by a more informal exchange with press and partners. We design both as one coherent operation.
Land + sea
For an exclusive announcement, a yacht moored at the port of Cannes offers a premium, confidential setting through our sister agency Cannes Yachts Booking. See yacht rental in Cannes for congresses.
Budget and lead time
The budget depends on the venue, format and technical setup. During a major congress, the best venues book months ahead; anticipating secures both the venue and the price. Every project is quoted individually — contact us.
