3 Summits Under One Incredible Roof

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I hope that you are keeping well in this year of exponential change.

I’m incredibly proud and excited to announce that the CogX Festival 2023 will be moving to an iconic new venue, the O2, as we scale to become the world’s most inclusive Festival of inspiration, impact and transformational change.?

The move to the O2 enables us to expand to three Summits (DeepTech, Industry Transformation and Global Leadership) and a huge Expo at this year’s Festival - all expertly curated to help address the question: “How do we get the next 10 years right?”

From 12 - 14 September 2023, you’re invited to be part of a connected experience as we bring together up to 90,000 participants in person, including CEOs, Students, Tech Visionaries, Leading Politicians, Global Experts and the General Public. We have so much exciting content across 200 topics, including Generative AI and AI safety, ethics and regulation, and I’m sure the Festival will be the most memorable event of your year.

So here’s what you need to know.

Why have we moved to the O2?

Inclusivity at Scale - To address the critical questions of our time, we passionately believe that the public must be part of the conversation. The scale of this year’s venue and the affiliate programme makes it the most affordable, and hence inclusive, Leadership Summit in the world with prices starting at just ￡95, and even lower for students.

Executive Programme - I know the value of meeting in smaller groups. The new Platinum Pass provides access to The O2’s 80 executive suites levels 2 and 3 which offer the best seats, are hosted and curated on themes by partners to provide unmatched peer networking, and includes exclusive speaker lunches and dinners and bookable 1:1 meeting spaces.

Steve Sayer, VP & General Manager of The O2 commented on our partnership: “We’re thrilled to be hosting CogX at The O2 for the first time ever. The festival programming sets out to explore some hugely important topics in what’s expected to be a fascinating few days of discussion. It’s great to continue to diversify the types of events we host here at the world’s most popular music, entertainment and leisure venue and we look forward to welcoming everyone in September.”
