Just two weeks to go until we kick off our coverage of the International Advertising Festival in the south of France.

Our team will be there on the ground interviewing delegates and speakers, blogging the seminars and talking oodles of pictures to bring the week alive for all of our readers who can’t make it to the Palais des Festivals (Bing Maps Bird’s Eye View).

All the news and views can be seen on our dedicated Cannes Lions 2010 site which will house all the videos, latest blog posts from the event and our Flickr photo feed.

A couple of weeks ago, we managed to get a few minutes with the Cannes Lions’ CEO - Phil Thomas - and asked him for his thoughts on this year’s line up of speakers, how much of a part “digital” will play in this and future festivals, and what kind of logistics go into running such a huge event.

The video also includes a snapshot of what we got up to last year………so enjoy!

Over the next 14 days we’ll publish some insights into our involvement at Cannes and what you can expect at our seminars and workshops.

Keep an eye on our Twitter feed and do check back to the Microsoft Advertising Blog for more….

Cheers
