Connect with Cannes’s AI community

The Festival Beyond the Main Programme

WAICF is more than two days on the main stages. Around the core programme, a growing ecosystem of partner-hosted events, satellite meetups, roundtables and networking activations extends the conversation—and the connections—across Cannes.

Who is This For?

Businesses and associations running complimentary AI events, meetups, awards ceremonies and networking during the same week as World Cannes AI Festival: 10-11 February 2027.

Why Apply?

The main programme brings 7,500+ AI leaders together. Ecosystem events give you the chance to go deeper—meet the right people, have the conversations that matter, and build relationships that extend beyond Cannes.

Whether you're looking to explore partnerships, share expertise, or simply connect with peers tackling similar challenges, the ecosystem is where WAICF comes to life.
