Where media, advertising and blockchain and hang by the pool 18-21 June 2018 Cannes, France
Hey There Digital Future Council gathers select tech, media and advertising players for exclusive events hosted in anything but ordinary settings. This summer, we re inviting you to join us at our private villa in Cannes as we unite to dissect the hot topic of the moment, 'Blockchain and the threats and opportunities it poses to the creative industries.' You'll gain exclusive access to our engaging round tables, poolside parties, live music, delicious food and network of leaders, huddled under one roof. Think of it as a vacation from industry jargon and meaningless buzzwords. One where you learn what the future of creativity and digital really looks like because you re talking to the people creating it. All while sipping champagne and basking in the Riviera sunshine. Like what you hear? Then read on...
The Event Our events draw inspiration from nothing less than the infamous salon parties of 17th Century France. These Intimate gatherings were a forum for fascinating conversations about art and politics, where no question was stupid and no answer left unchallenged. Our Round tables form the basis of our educational content. Prior to the event, we ask our creative members: ' What do you really want to learn about blockchain?' These responses are the basis of discussion for our round tables, as we divide blockchain technologists and creative leaders into groups, and challenge them to uncover myths and misconceptions, and work together to develop best practices for integrating radical new tech. In between we keep the conversation flowing and business connections flourishing, with lunches, dinners and afterparties.
Goodbye buzzwords. Hello solutions.
The Fun We create intimate and executional events on the 18-19 June. But we know that true connections are forged over a poolside glass of rose. And at Digital Future Council, that pool happens to be as close to the official Cannes Lions Festival as you can get while sitting in a lounge chair. Founding Members will have exclusive access to our villa across the whole of the Cannes Lions Festival (18-22 June). Need a swanky venue for an important meeting?

At Cannes, talks remain private, but we have a special interview room setup where founding members are put on the hot spot as we ask them Rapid Fire Questions about what they learned at the event: busted myths, tips n tricks learned, most surprising findings. We will also produce a book on best practices for implementing blockchain into creative roles for the wider industry.
