WHY WE'RE HERE

AI has changed the rules faster than any of us expected.

New interfaces. New discovery channels. New expectations for what content needs to do - not just rank, but perform across LLMs, search, and every surface where buyers are looking for answers.

Everyone's rewriting the playbook in real time.

That's why Cannes feels especially important this year. A chance to step away from the dashboards and deployment cycles, compare notes with the people building through the same shifts, and talk honestly about what's actually working.

This June, AirOps is heading to the Croisette to bring together marketing, SEO, and agency leaders navigating the future of brand visibility in the age of AI. We'll be sharing what we're seeing from teams on the front lines of generative search, and creating space for the kinds of conversations that only happen in Cannes.

We'd love to have you join us.

Happy Hour with Anthropic + Linqia

Our biggest moment of the week. AirOps, Anthropic, and Linqia host the rooftop happy hour where the brand, AI, and creator worlds collide. Where the boat is intimate, this is the brand statement. The room people see on LinkedIn the next morning and wish they'd been at.
