PHILIPPINES

Continuing the legacy of the past 9 years, The World CIO 200 Summit 2025 is coming to Philippines.

This year, our focus is on being Powerful, Mighty, and Swift—embodying the qualities of a HORSE. Known for its strength, agility, and speed, a horse charges forward with relentless determination and precision once it commits to a goal. We believe these qualities are essential for IT leaders to thrive in today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving business landscape.

The World CIO 200 Summit 2025 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.

Join us to discover how harnessing the power, might, and speed of a horse can drive impactful leadership and success in IT!
