In 2025, the World CIO 200 Summit steps into its 10th year, carrying with it a decade of dreams, of challenges met, and of a future reimagined. Ten years ago, we began a journey—a journey fueled by passion, vision, and the belief that technology could change the world. And now, as we stand at the threshold of a new decade, we are not simply looking ahead; we are racing toward it with hearts full of hope and minds set on what’s possible.
This summit is a celebration of the Power of innovation, the Might to overcome every obstacle, and the Speed to grasp opportunities as they unfold. It is a chance to reflect on the work that’s brought us here, but more importantly, to reach for the boundless future that awaits. The theme Dawn of a New Decade calls us to move beyond the comfort of what we know, to break the old rules, and to build something greater—together.
For ten years, we have been shaping the future. And now, in this moment, we gather once more—not just to celebrate what we’ve achieved, but to ignite the spark for the next generation of leaders. The path before us is long, but the horizon is clear. This is our moment to rise, to inspire, and to build a legacy that will endure for years to come.
The future is calling—are you ready to answer?
"Unbelievably awesome, so we'll organised and truly spectacular. It made me feel like a celebrity for the hard work that I put in everyday. I am in for next year!"
"Great event. Gecmedia bring people together and make them friends from 50 plus countries. All events are high on knowledge quotient which is the true success factor of CIO200. I would highly recommend to have a YouTube channel of CIO200 with all the presentations uploaded specially the Grand Finale presentations. And make it available to all CIO's who applied so that's 40k plus audience already."
The CIO 200 event was well organised and the agenda for the two events was well suited to our current needs as CIOs and the sum up event in Cape town was breath taking. We looking forward to the next event in Malaysia. Kudus to GEC Media Group team and the sponsors.
"The experience of meeting global CIOs and CISOs is an eye opener of the different challenges and achievements in different sectors. The summit was organized to ensure achieving the objectives of empowering every participant with the latest knowledge in the field and providing guidance on mental health to be the best in our work. Great experience."
