The TFWA Digital Village will return to Cannes in 2018.

Pre-registration for the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference 2018 and TFWA Digital Village has opened.

The event will feature a conference and workshop programme and an opportunity to see the latest innovations from leading brands and digital specialists active in DF&TR.

It will run between 30 September and 5 October at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.

Following the success of the inaugural TFWA Digital Village in Cannes in 2017, it will return this year between Tuesday 2 October and Friday 5 October.

ONE2ONE meeting service

TFWA’s ONE2ONE meeting service will also take place.

In 2017, there were 302 pre-arranged meetings via the ONE2ONE service, an increase of +38% from the previous year. For the TFWA Digital Village, 163 pre-arranged meetings were planned.

Last year, over 6,800 visitors attended the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference, an increase of +6% from the previous year.

The exhibition occupied a total of 22,607sq m, with 514 exhibiting companies across 490 stands and 16 official boats in the Harbour Village.

TFWA President Erik Juul-Mortensen said: “As preparations get underway for this key event, it’s clear that once again there will be plenty to think about and debate in Cannes.

“Business has been healthy across our industry since we last met on the Côte d’Azur, but our world is changing rapidly and it’s never been more imperative to keep abreast of these changes.

“As always, the event offers an outstanding opportunity to network and to meet business partners old and new.”
