More than 300 AANA Members joined us for our Cannes Download sessions in Sydney, Melbourne and Macquarie Park. Special thanks to our hosts HOYTS, NAB and Optus for welcoming AANA members for these inspiring events.

Once again we thank News Corp Australia, the Official Representative of Cannes Lions in Australia for partnering with us. Liz Deegan, Group Editorial Commercial Director and the team at News Corp delivered a detailed look at the best of the festival themes from the Palais, brought to life via the work that was awarded at the Festival this year. We were also joined by three Cannes judges Paul Reardon, Executive Creative Director WhybinTBWA Melbourne, Pat Baron, Executive Creative Director McCann Melbourne and Russ Tucker, National Digital Creative Director Digital Arts Network Australia. We thank them for sharing their insights into the judging process and the big winners.

Any members that were not able to attend a session or would welcome the News Corp Download presented again in their offices should contact the AANA.

Our thanks to all our partners who enabled us to deliver the AANA Cannes Program for 2015, especially News Corp Australia and MediaCom who hosted our AANA cocktails at the Martinez in Cannes. If there are any members that are interested in attending the Festival next year, please let us know as we would love to ensure your trip is full of as many experiences and opportunities as we can.
