About Cristal Festival

The 12th edition of the Cristal Festival will be held from 12 to 16 December 2012 in Crans Montana in the Swiss Alps.

Since its creation in 2001, the Cristal Festival unites the professionals of the advertising and creative world: the main agencies, advertisers, producers, directors, Media, market research companies, journalists, TV producers ... in a convivial atmosphere for networking and knowledge sharing. 

In 11 years, this European Festival has increased its participants and has become the event "not-to-be-missed" for the communications world at the end of the year.

The ambition of the Festival is to promote European advertising creativity and to showcase a variety of work from the industry by means of a diverse range of creative competitions and through the sharing of knowledge.

The competitions in December close the creative year and forecast the trends for the next year. The "Cristal" awards reward the year's best creations for the different types of media, and are judged by mixed international juries made up of agencies and advertisers.

The Festival is the number one place for networking and knowledge sharing during the Cristal Lab. This is the moment to get a good overview of the latest trends and developments in the industry, and is a meeting place for the biggest European and international specialists through prestigious debates, keynote speakers, conferences and workshops.
