The APEC CEO Summit is a major side event of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, which brings together the leaders of 21 member economies, including the United States, China, Japan, and Russia. It is the largest annual business forum in the Asia-Pacific region. This year's summit is expected to attract more than 1,000 global business leaders and high-ranking officials from APEC member countries.
As the summit's knowledge partner, Deloitte is playing a key role in setting the overall agenda, leveraging its expertise in AI, digital transformation, and sustainability. Key global leaders from Deloitte, including David Hill, Deloitte Asia Pacific CEO; Nitin Mittal, Deloitte Global AI Leader; and Dr. Bernhard Lorentz, Deloitte Global Climate & Infrastructure Leader, will participate as speakers.

In addition, Deloitte partners from various countries, including Korea, the United States, China, Japan, and Australia, are also expected to attend the summit in large numbers.
David Hill, Deloitte Asia Pacific CEO, will deliver a keynote speech on the second day of the summit, October 29, under the theme 'Global Economic Issues & Challenges.' Drawing on the results of Deloitte's 'CEO Survey' conducted among CEOs from APEC member countries, he will shed light on how business leaders are responding to a changing economic environment, rapid technological advancement, and the challenges surrounding sustainability and growth in the region.
