Production Factory

For its inaugural presence at Cannes Lions, OpenAI brought together a programme of conversations, meetings and experiences in a private villa in the heart of Cannes.

Working directly with the OpenAI team from the earliest creative stages, Production Factory helped shape the look and feel of the space, developing the initial vision into a fully realised environment designed to accommodate a busy and varied programme.

Our involvement spanned creative design, production planning, technical production, hospitality, guest logistics, staffing and on-site delivery. From coordinating suppliers and managing the production to overseeing the day-to-day operations and adapting the space as the week unfolded, our team brought every element together.

The result was a flexible, welcoming destination that supported OpenAI's first Cannes Lions presence, bringing people together for meaningful conversations and experiences throughout the festival.
