New winners for the Cannes International Games Festival (FIJ)!
With the launch of its gaming village, the FIJ has enchanted both the public and industry professionals!

This 36th edition brought together more than 5,200 professionals to discover the outdoor entertainment located on the forecourt, the promenade and the beach facilities of the Palais des Festivals, not to mention the 300 stands spread across four halls in the city and 30 professional spaces.

73,000 entries registered! On Friday, 24 and Saturday, 25 February, the Festival sold out completely.
The weather forecast on Sunday, 26 February forced organisers to limit the number of festival-goers for safety reasons in order to maintain optimal conditions for visitors.

Midem, the music industry’s leading event, has become MIDƐM+: an augmented, experiential and collaborative festival that positions music at the heart of tomorrow's challenges. A true place for innovation and convergence where music communities, creative and Web3 industries can gather, this new model will be interspersed with concerts, showcases, talks, master classes, collaborative intelligence workshops and business networking sessions.
The Town Council of Cannes and its Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, the organisers of the Midem, are launching this new MIDƐM+ event which will be held from 19 to 21 January 2023.

From 14 to 16 April 2022, Cannes is hosting, under the leadership of David Lisnard, Mayor of Cannes, the 1st edition of the "World AI Cannes Festival” (WAICF), the world festival of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Organised by Corp Agency and initiated by Cannes Town Hall, the Department of Alpes-Maritimes and the Europia Institute, this new international event takes over the prestigious Palais des Festivals et des Congrès de Cannes, France's leading business centre outside Paris, to host and organise professional MICE tourism fairs1.

When staying in a hotel in Cannes during the Cannes – Côte d'Azur Dance Festival, the public has access to a unique offer: a 50% discount on the prices of tickets for shows during their chosen weekend and accommodation at preferential rates, from €52 per night.
