What to expect

Introducing CTO Craft Con: London 2025.

Following three sold-out conferences, we are proud to present CTO Craft Con: London 2025. Returning to the heart of London at the QEII Centre, CTO Craft Con 2025 will feature more speakers, content, formats, attendees, and best-in-class solution providers than ever before. This event is a must-attend for CTOs and those on their CTO journey, looking to hone their craft and accelerate their effectiveness as leaders

It’s all about you.

Our new agenda is designed with you in mind. With four key pillars—leadership, technology, culture, and well-being—you’ll dive into the evolving role of the CTO, balancing visionary thinking with practical execution.

Explore cutting-edge technologies like AI and cybersecurity, while learning how to build inclusive, high-performing teams that prioritize mental well-being. Plus, don’t miss our brand-new Conversations stream: your go-to for a more interactive and engaging conference experience.

Unparalleled networking opportunities.

CTO Craft is not just an event; it’s a community of over 15,000 tech leaders, innovators, and change-makers and the CTO Craft Con attendees reflect that. By attending you’ll be in the company of over 500 CTOs and aspiring technology leaders from startups, scaleups, soonicorns, unicorns, big tech and more to tackle the biggest challenges facing the industry in a safe, collaborative and inclusive peer-to-peer environment.  Previous attendees include: 

Beyond the conference doors.

The networking opportunities don’t have to stop when the conference doors close! Join us at the end of the first day, where we aim to have something for everyone. Whether you want to let loose with a beer and some music or prefer a quieter setting to catch up with old and new peers, we’ll have something for you. 

Additionally, we’re excited to introduce a pre-event mixer this year. We understand that walking into a conference where you don’t know anyone can be daunting, so our mixers are designed to help you make connections ahead of the event. Don’t miss this chance to build your network before the conference even begins!
