Welcome to the CogX Festival. The world’s largest gathering of CEOs, Entrepreneurs, Academics, Artists, Activists, and policymakers working to realize the biggest transformational opportunities of our time and how we address the challenges along the way. Each year we bring together a unique cross-section of CEOs, Entrepreneurs, Academics, Artists, Activists & Policy Makers from around the world. Our CogX Global Leadership Summit (hosted in person and online) brings a Davos World Economic Forum-style format and agenda to London’s Kings Cross and our aim is to grow this substantially every year. Attendees will be able to access the four sites (which are helpfully connected through open spaces of KX) with the NHS health app in a safe and secure way.

Last year, the CogX Festival featured an exceptional list of speakers, including John Kerry, United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and former US Secretary of State, Tony Fadell, inventor of the iPod, Leif Johansson, Chairman of AstraZeneca, Tony Blair, former Prime Minister, Shoshana Zuboff, Author, Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate and Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland.

This year we are delighted to have leaders of iconic British businesses old and new, from Sean Doyle, CEO of British Airways, and Warren East, CEO of Rolls Royce, through to the biggest UK ‘unicorn’ start-ups such as CEOs of Starling Bank, Revolut, Hopin and Bulb.
