Counting down to Cannes Lions 2026.

Looking forward to being in Cannes (June 21–27) and catching up with founders, investors, strategics, operators, and partners across AI, software, adtech, martech, commerce media, digital media, and agencies.

Cannes is always a great setting for conversations about where the market is headed. This year, a few themes feel especially relevant:

• AI moving into core workflows — Across creative, media, measurement, personalization, decisioning, and how teams actually operate day to day.

• Commerce media gaining momentum — As brands, retailers, marketplaces, and platforms rethink how advertising connects more directly to transactions.

• Adtech and martech consolidation — With buyers increasingly focused on scale, differentiation, data advantage, workflow ownership, and strategic relevance.

• The path forward for founders — Whether that means growth capital, strategic partnerships, M&A, or continuing to build independently.

At ComCap, we advise high-growth technology and tech-enabled services companies on M&A, capital formation, and strategic growth opportunities across these markets.

If you'll be on the Croisette, I'd welcome the chance to connect. See you in Cannes.
