Events & Programs
Programs
At IAA Singapore, we are deeply committed to the ongoing development of talent at every stage of a career. Our Professional Development programs are designed to meet people where they are; whether they are early in their journey, stepping into leadership, or seeking to sharpen their skills through continued growth. Through these programs, we aim to create meaningful opportunities to learn, connect, and build capability for the long term.
Cannes Lions Young Talent Development Program
A flagship Young Talent initiative supporting two exceptional professionals aged 30 or under from Southeast Asia to attend the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity as part of the IAA Young Talent delegation.
Participants are immersed in world-class creativity and marketing thinking, with the opportunity to take part in a curated Young Lions agenda across the Festival. Through IAA-hosted events and industry networking, they gain direct exposure to global leaders, award-winning work, and new perspectives on creativity and effectiveness. They return with broader horizons, stronger peer networks, and the confidence and momentum to accelerate their professional growth and leadership potential.
This is available exclusively to young talent from our IAA Singapore Corporate Members.
PAC Oxford Talent
Development Program
Each September, two rising stars from our community head to the stunning grounds of The University of Oxford, for a truly career changing experience - PAC.
This program is run annually by IAA UK, and we are thrilled to have secured two places for our region to be represented. Aimed at young industry professionals with 2-5 years experience, PAC provides delegates with a mix of theoretical and practical skills, and the opportunity to work on a live client brief. Each year we are privileged to have a different global brand set a live brief for the delegates to respond to in their teams.
