Cannes Download to return to Adelaide on Tues, Aug 25 with panel of leading creative voices
Following a sold-out 2025 season, Cannes Download is returning to Adelaide, bringing some of the world’s most talked-about, awarded and ambitious work direct from Cannes Lions to the big screen.
Taking place on Tuesday, 25 August at Palace Nova Eastend, the event will combine a specially curated 60-minute reel of standout work from this year’s festival with a live discussion featuring some of Adelaide’s leading creative and industry voices.
This year’s reel has been exclusively curated by Micah Walker, Founder and Chief Creative Officer at Bear Meets Eagle On Fire and 2026 Cannes Lions Film Juror, in collaboration with production partner Prodigious.
Adelaide panel includes:
Amy Weston — Executive Creative Director, Clemenger BBDO
Kevin Kivi — Managing Director, Wavemaker AUNZ
Dena Vassallo — Founder and CEO of SOCIETY ANZ & US
James Pash — Creative Director, KWP+Partners
Justin Counihan — Managing Director, Floodlight Agency
Britt Lippett — Client Partner, Frame
Together, the panel will unpack the work on screen, explore the ideas and creative trends that stood out from Cannes this year, and consider what they mean for agencies, marketers and creatives working in Adelaide.
Whether you’re a creative, strategist, marketer, agency leader, content creator or simply looking for a serious dose of inspiration, Cannes Download is an opportunity to step outside the day-to-day and experience some of the best creative thinking from around the world.
