We are opening the Darkroom Villa and Garden to the broader community for a full day away from the La Croisette and the noise. The garden is the place to recharge: pool, cold plunge, sauna, walking lunch buffet, and an oversized sculpture garden built from iconic CPG products. Spend the day with the squad and come ready to swim.
Inside the Villa, with air conditioner to escape the heat, live sessions and some of the best minds in brand building and agentic commerce. Panels with Triple Whale and Motion on:
- The Collapse of Walls: When Paid, Organic, and Creator Become One
- How AI Is Evolving the Org Chart of Commerce
The lines that used to separate consumer brands, commerce platforms and creators are no longer holding. This day is built for the brands, founders, operators and creators erasing them.
The Darkroom® CPG Garden brings together founders, brand operators, DTC builders and creators above the Mediterranean for a day at Cannes Lions 2026.
Space is curated and limited. Request to join below.
Partners: Triple Whale, Motion, Bero, Sauz, Something & Nothing, Foulplay, Sun Powder, Rocean, and Goli.
