RISE OF THE POWER One of the most celebrated events in the IT regime, The World CIO 200 Summit, is back in its full glory this year. Global CIO Forum recently released a sneak-peek into the event this year with an imagery of the majestic Eagle and the theme of ‘Rise of the Power’. The Roadshow is touring 50 countries in 2023 (40 countries in 2022) and will be conducted in the month of July-September. As the tradition goes, after completion of the roadshow, the Great Grand Finale of the event will be held in September in Baku, Azerbaijan on September 20- 22. 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. 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.

This is supplemented by post event networking session, and advisory boards.
