Retailers gather for world
Many of Europe's top retail marketers are preparing to gather in Cannes for this year's Cannes Lions international advertising festival.

The event, which runs from 18-24 June, is in its 53rd year, and attracts 8,000 marketing specialists from 75 countries to the French Riviera for a programme of seminars, awards and networking. The audience includes marketing and advertising experts from retailers and FMCG suppliers from across the world.

UK retailers are expected to be well-represented among the award-winners, after Harvey Nichols advertising campaign swept the board at last year's event.
