The prestigious India Today Conclave returns for its 22nd edition, set to take place on March 7-8, 2025, at the Taj Palace, New Delhi. As a globally recognized platform for thought leadership, the event will bring together some of the world’s most influential voices to discuss the theme ‘The Age of Acceleration’, focusing on technological advancements, geopolitical shifts, and societal transformation.

In an era of rapid change, the conclave aims to navigate the disruptions reshaping global economies, governance, and communication. With artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep-tech innovations driving progress, the event will explore how these advancements impact economic realignment, trade conflicts, and evolving power structures. While technology fuels connectivity and efficiency, it also redefines geopolitical dynamics, creating both opportunities and challenges for nations worldwide.

Amidst these changes, India is emerging as a stabilizing force, integrating rapid technological adoption with a human-centric approach. The conclave will analyze how India can lead with resilience and innovation in this evolving landscape. Discussions will center on artificial intelligence’s ethical and economic implications, digital sovereignty, and globalization’s paradox—where interconnectivity fosters both unity and fragmentation.

The two-day event will feature thought leaders from diverse fields, covering topics such as AI-driven economies, governance in a data-centric world, employment in an era of automation, and global trade dynamics. From policymakers and industry leaders to cultural icons and academics, the conclave will provide a holistic perspective on the forces shaping the future.
