What Is It?
Maison New Digital Age is our buzzing venue in the heart of Cannes Lions, located on the Croisette five minutes walk from the Palais. A multi-space venue including private dining rooms, meeting spaces, outdoor terrace areas and private bars, Maison New Digital Age can host creative and engaging events for 10 – 100 people.
During Cannes Lions week we host a broad range of roundtables, on-stage interviews, drinks events, lunches, dinners, branded activations and more.
What Makes It Special?
At its core, Maison New Digital Age is a space for the UK digital media industry to gather – where senior decision makers can meet, talk and network. It plays host to a range of editorial activities from the New Digital Age team as well as sponsored activations from brands looking to connect with high-value audiences.
Nothing shows off New Digital Ages place at the heart of the industry more than our activities in Cannes and you can be a part of that.
Who's There?
Maison New Digital Age is now an established part of the Cannes experience for UK digital brands, agencies and adtech. In 2025, more than 1,300 senior executives passed through our doors to experience the content and activations that were hosted in the Maison.

Our 2025 Wrap Up
Last year at Cannes, NDA brought together a range of activations, from thought-leading panels and live podcasts to networking events and even dog walks along the Riviera. Maison NDA became a space where ideas, innovation, and collaboration truly came to life. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights:
The week opened with live podcast recordings featuring Sir Martin Sorrell, Terry Kawaja and Brian O’Kelley, in conversation with NDA Editor Justin Pearse, recorded in front of a select audience.
We ran a series of roundtable debates, tackling crucial industry themes – from sustainability and CTV to the evolution of programmatic.
Our Digital Women Cannes Panel brought together leaders from Danone, Wavemaker, Good-Loop, BBC Studios, and LG Ad Solutions, discussing representation, innovation, and the changing role of women in the industry.
We hosted evening networking drinks, providing a relaxed space for senior leaders, thinkers, and creators to connect – no presentations, just conversation.
Experts explored the booming retail media ecosystem and its opportunities for brands and agencies during our Retail Media Age Panel.
As part of our partnership with Tripadvisor and Cesar, we offered morning dog walks along the Riviera, combining relaxation, networking, and a touch of adventure.
