Join our EACA Breakfast and Session in Cannes!

In times of change, a shared sense of purpose and creative energy can go a long way.

That’s why the European Association of Communications Agencies (EACA), in partnership with Kantar and hosted by Havas, is delighted to invite you to a special breakfast event during Cannes Lions 2025. “Creating Momentum in Uncertainty” will bring together agency leaders, partners, and peers from across Europe for an open and energising morning conversation.

Creating Momentum in Uncertainty will bring together agency leaders, partners, and peers from across Europe for an open and inspiring conversation on how we navigate challenges and seize opportunities collectively.

Join us on Wednesday, 18 June from 09:00 to 11:00 CET at Salon Cocteau (Havas Café, Hotel Mondrian, Croisette, Cannes).

We’ll begin with a warm welcome from Christian de la Villehuchet, EACA President and our Havas host. Charley Stoney, EACA CEO, will then present key findings from EACA’s Cost of Pitching survey: insights that are particularly timely in today’s climate of economic scrutiny.

Next, we are proud to stand alongside VoxComm and WFA in launching the Agency Selection Guiding Principles, paving the way for more transparent, sustainable, and effective client-agency partnerships.

To close, we will explore the intersection of creativity and resilience. In partnership with Kantar, we will highlight why bold creative thinking and consistent marketing investment are not only resilient strategies but smart, future-focused imperatives. Hear directly from our panel of industry leaders:

Charley Stoney, CEO, EACA (moderator)
Amy Cashman, Global Managing Director, Brand, CX & Marketing, Kantar
Joanna Lawrence, Global Chief Strategy Officer, Havas Media Network
Siddarth Sivaprakash, Head of Marketing and Brand, Home Centre, Landmark Group

Don’t miss this opportunity to pause and reconnect with our community in an inspiring setting, featuring voices from across the region who believe in shaping the future through creativity.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, 18 June from 09:00 to 11:00 CET at the Hotel Mondrian (Havas Café), Croisette, Cannes.

Spaces are limited, so we encourage early registration. We look forward to welcoming you.
