ABOUT THE EVENT.

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?
