Tarisha de Alwis, one of the winners from Triad, said that over seven days and over 50 sessions, thought-leaders and experts in all forms of communications and creative thinking are scheduled to come together to inspire, debate and entertain at Cannes Lions 2012 in France.
"As young lions, we too will have the opportunity to enjoy a week of insightful, informative seminars, fun and interactive workshops and inspiring master classes - and apart from that, we are very excited at the chance to also meet with some amazing people from the advertising world and make lots of new friends."
The other Triad winner - Ruani Wijenaike, a second time winner, said, "the information and ideas you absorb as well as the unique work that makes the winners stand out really does inspire you to go back and work as hard as you can in order to bring back a gold lion for Sri Lanka." |
