The Fortune COO Summit was held June 9–10, 2025, in Scottsdale, Ariz. The livestream for this event has concluded. Find Fortune‘s coverage of the event here.

In a time of seismic technological advancements, operating leaders are encountering both unprecedented challenges and exciting opportunities. Join Fortune’s editors, fellow COOs, and top speakers from around the world, as they explore strategies and solutions for addressing today’s most-pressing business issues, from talent management to navigating financial pressures and integrating AI and other emerging technologies.

The second-annual Fortune COO Summit will offer a unique opportunity to build community and discover more forward-thinking strategies to lead your organization into the future. We will dive deep into how COOs can drive operational excellence in this time of radical transformation. How can chief operators seize this moment of digital change and the AI revolution and turn it into real productivity gains? And what are the keys to managing and optimizing talent in the era of GenAI? This impactful event will arm COOs with the tools to address relationship management within the C-suite, as well as provide a playbook for those who aim to step into the CEO seat.

Attendees can expect high-level networking, engaging hands-on workshops, and expert-driven thought leadership. It’ll be an opportunity for attendees to engage with top operational leaders across Fortune 1000 companies and gain exclusive access to Fortune editors.

As the COO role evolves, collaboration across the C-suite is more critical than ever. That’s why we’re inviting not only COOs but also CEOs, CTOs, CFOs, CSOs, CPOs, and other top executives committed to driving operational excellence.

More information about the conference and the list of 2025 speakers can be found here.

The Fortune 500 Innovation Forum will convene Fortune 500 executives, U.S. policy officials, top founders, and thought leaders to help define what’s next for the American economy, Nov. 16-17 in Detroit. Apply here.
