Who will be the next two CDOs of the Year 2026? Digital leaders have just one week left to submit their candidacy and present their digital transformation story to the jury.
Once again, the organisation is looking for two outstanding digital leaders — one Dutch-speaking and one French-speaking — who can demonstrate how they successfully drove digital transformation within their organisation.
Company size, industry or budget are not what matters most. The jury will focus on the impact achieved, the transformation delivered and the story behind it.
Candidates will present their case to the jury in Brussels on 22 September, with the two winners announced during the 8th CDO of the Year Awards on 22 October at Brussels Dôme.
And it’s not only the application deadline that is approaching. The gala itself, bringing together around 500 digital leaders and decision-makers, is now almost sold out.
The evening will feature keynotes from Bjorn Van de Velde (VRT) and Stijn Ilsen (SpaceX), followed by the announcement of the two CDOs of the Year 2026.
