Every year, the Cannes Yachting Festival is the unmissable showcase for international yachting, a gathering point where innovation, elegance and performance converge. Since 2019, sailing boats have occupied a place of honour in the Sailing Area at Port Canto, a real setting entirely dedicated to the sailing world. From 9 September, the exhibition will feature 128 new sailing vessels over 10 metres in length, with around thirty being world premieres, confirming the prominent position of this segment at the event.

The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (June 15-20) has announced that a total of 26,900 submissions have been received into the 2025 Awards, reflecting strong global participation across the breadth of the creative industries. All pieces of work will now compete to set the global benchmark for excellence in creativity and effectiveness for the year ahead.

In May 1875, Max Oettinger opened a tobacconist store at Eisengasse 9 in Basel, thus laying the foundations for today's Oettinger Davidoff AG. The family-owned company, which now operates all over the world, celebrates in 2025 its 150th anniversary. To mark the occasion, it is hosting some special events in the place where it all began and further strengthens its commitment to its "Crop to Shop" philosophy, with investments in its production and in its global retail network.
