The councils will prioritise five global challenges:

There are five spaces available on each Council.

New perspectives and insights
“We’re seeking industry professionals who can bring new perspectives and insights, and accelerate the pace of progress at a greater scale as part of a global community,” says Lions.
This is a minimum of a year-long commitment and you will have a chance to contribute directly to the changes in the industry needs most.
Council forums will take place across the week of Cannes Lions, with inaugural meetings of the new teams on 22 and 23 June, followed by virtual and in-person meetings across the year to make progress on the industry’s growth and progress agenda agreed upon in Cannes.
