A short format — two days — but with a fast-growing evening culture: tech-vendor cocktails, VC and consultancy parties, and the WAICF Awards gala open to start-ups and researchers. Beaches are closed in February, so everything happens in the Croisette hotels and the Old Port restaurants. Watch out in 2027: WAICF (10–11) overlaps the opening of CANNESERIES (11 February).
Two days of conference, one real evening to make an impression. Loka hosts 40 to 70 people on a full buy-out, with a cocktail workshop as the ice-breaker — considerably more memorable than a standing drink in a hotel lobby. Bar, dining room and terrace, service until 12:30 AM. See the private hire page or book a table for a group of fewer than 8.
Only two nights, but the clash with CANNESERIES makes 10 and 11 February 2027 unusually tight. Book 4–6 months ahead.
20 – 40 lokos
Signature cocktails, circulating latina finger food, DJ set. Two to three hours, standing format, ideal between the show closing and the official party.
10 – 25 lokos
Private table, three-course South American menu, mezcal tasting running through the evening. Served in ninety minutes if you have somewhere else to be.
40 – 70 lokos
The whole casa: bar, dining room and terrace. DJ set until 12:30 AM, optional cocktail workshop, your branding on site.
