At Global CIO Forum, 2023 is the ‘Year of the Eagle’.
Welcome to The World CIO 200 2023 ‘Rise of the Power’! This year, we are proud to present a tour that will span 50 countries, gathering over 5000 IT leaders in a journey of 5 months. Our theme this year is all about the Rise of the power, and we are excited to explore what this means for IT leadership around the world.
With Year of the Eagle, we are reminded of the great strength and vision of this majestic bird. In many cultures, the eagle symbolizes leadership, power, and vision but most importantly - FOCUS. We believe that these are key qualities that IT leaders need to cultivate in order to succeed in today's fast-paced and ever-changing business environment.
The World CIO 200 2023 roadshow is designed to help IT leaders develop and enhance these qualities. Through a series of workshops, knowledge-sharing sessions, thought-provoking life experiences, keynote speeches, panel discussions, and networking events, we will explore the latest trends and innovations in IT leadership.
WCS200 is much more than just a conference, it is a year-round hive of activity across the globe, dedicated to keeping its finger on the pulse of the sector and communication within the industry alive. The conversation never stops with exclusive invitation only country specific briefings, celebrating success of local CIOs for their contribution & designed to inform the content of the main event. This is supplemented by post event networking session, and advisory boards. As experts in the market, WCS200 shares insight and intelligence throughout the year with its community & celebrate the success of entire industry.
