Our Mission
"Our ambition is to be the most inclusive and forward-thinking community of leaders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, scientists, policy makers, artists and activists in the world.
Following the success of CogX Festival 2020, over three days, 44,000 attendees, including 1200+ speakers and 3000+ global leaders came together to enjoy expert-led 18 topics.
But we did not want to stop there. Especially now that the 'New World of Work' is here to stay. So we have created a year-round programme of CogXtra’s - weekly, single topic, half day virtual events - beginning on the 2nd September 2020.
These unique events are co-curated with our partners around a single topic selected from the 18 CogX Festival stages, including Global Leadership, the Cutting Edge, Ethics, Health & Well-Being, Planet and Smart Cities, Next-Gen Infrastructure, Fintech and the Future of Financial Services, GenZ and much more."
