ODIA
The operating system for modern travel businesses.
Hosts the days
Matcha mornings, midday lunch, live product salons, and useful agent-facing content.
Open · useful · low-pressureFour mornings · Two evenings
One quiet room above the noise.
Presented by ODIA & Be Essential Club
The setting
Cannes fills with champagne towers, caviar, and rooms built to be seen in. By the third day, the people you came to meet are over-catered, exhausted, and impossible to hold a real conversation with.
The concept
A private penthouse, open across four days, where the industry comes to slow down, not show off.
Calm, competent, a little intimate. Deliberately the opposite of the week around it.
Who’s behind it

Matcha mornings, midday lunch, live product salons, and useful agent-facing content.
Open · useful · low-pressureA luxury DMC, built on relationships.
Hosts the evenings
The Wednesday Glam & Refresh station and Thursday Partners’ Dinner, designed around gifting and intimacy.
Relationship-led · invitation-onlyThey never share a logo. The Antidote is the only identity they share.
The week at a glance
A recurring daytime ritual.
Two intimate evening moments.
Arrival · every day
A discreet guest-list check-in, a personal welcome, and the first useful object placed directly in hand.
The transition away from Cannes starts at the threshold.
Every morning · ODIA
Same time, same place, every day of the show. A clear cup of ceremonial matcha, made to order, becomes the reason people build the walk into their morning.
Recognizable, photographable, and genuinely useful.
Partner opportunity Matcha label or Cannes coffee house, co-branded on the cup.
The object story · new
The bar extends beyond the cup: tactile bowls, whisks, tins, and a rotating drinks menu create a complete morning world.
Every midday · ODIA
A considered takeaway box, picked up between meetings. Inside the lid: the day’s rotating content, a live demo time, an agent briefing, and a QR to the deck.
Partner opportunity A chef, local kitchen, or food brand for the box.
The kitchen · proposed partner
A local, plant-forward kitchen already working in exactly the right register: cold-pressed smoothies, grain bowls, bright and unfussy food.
The askCater the morning bar and midday lunch, all four days.
The dealTheir menu in our packaging, co-credited on every object.
ODIA · The takeaway system
Off-the-shelf kraft containers, one custom band. Easy to produce and easy to rotate as the menu changes daily.
Wednesday evening · Be Essential Club
A refresh station timed for the hour before the week’s biggest party. Hair, touch-ups, a moment to reset, and a take-home pouch of the good stuff.
Partner opportunity Beauty and makeup brands for the station and the gifting pouch.
The take-home edit · new
The event identity leaves the room through a tightly edited collection of useful pieces, not a bag of promotional merchandise.
The design language
A small roundel and one thin ribbon connect each object
without merging the two host brands.
Who’s in the room
The high-end buyers and hosts ODIA and Be Essential Club want in the room.
Odia’s core audience, actively evaluating how they run their business.
Quiet tastemakers who shape how the week is remembered.
