The annual network event for
digital decision-makers

CIODAY is the annual network event for digital decision-makers in business, government, and everything in between. Not necessarily about the latest tech, this event brings together the community of CIOs, CDOs, and CTOs to share ideas, use cases, and best practices in an informal but luxurious setting. And, of course, we’ll announce the CIO of the Year 2025 and the winner of the Tech Hero Award.

Leading Forward, Together!

Take the step forward. For your organization, for society, and for yourself.

Our world is more in motion than ever before. We’re witnessing unpredictable dynamics in politics, economics, and society – often with a direct or indirect technological component. CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, CISOs and other leaders with a digital focus and responsibility are moving closer to the heart of global developments.

Organizations across the world are under increasing pressure to remain valuable, agile, and resilient. Their responsible executives must continuously balance innovation, integrity, value creation, cost efficiency and cybersecurity. The economic and societal bar is high, and geopolitical uncertainty has become the new normal.
