Get an access-all-areas Classic Pass to the 2025 Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity

For the past 4 years, Women in Marketing Africa has proudly represented African talent at Cannes Lions, and while our numbers are growing, there's still a huge need for more African voices on one of the biggest global stages for creativity. We want to empower more women in our sector across the continent to showcase their work and experience everything Cannes Lions has to offer.

As part of the Cannes Lions ERA (Equity, Representation and Accessibility) programme, WiM Africa has secured 3 precious all-access Classic passes to the 2025 Festival—and we’re giving them away to 3 lucky community members!

If you’re not familiar, Cannes Lions is where creativity comes alive. It’s a game-changing event where every conversation sparks new ideas and opportunities. You get to see incredible work, hear from (and maybe even chat with) industry legends in relaxed panels and masterclasses, and connect with fellow marketers and creatives. For us and for you, it’s the ultimate ticket to fresh inspiration, cool networking, and career opportunities that could completely transform your professional journey.
