Ad Age /

Each June, executives from agencies around the world gather at Cannes in the south of France for the International Advertising Festival.
The Cannes Lions -- the industry's most prestigious awards -- are conferred there as part of a weeklong round of seminars, business meetings and social gatherings that constitute the advertising industry's largest and most important annual event.
