The World Memory Championship 2025 is a world-class event that gathers the brightest minds from across the globe to take on rigorous memory challenges and push the true limits of human intelligence.

This year’s championship goes beyond memory alone, featuring two parallel world-class competitions: the World Mind Mapping Championship and the World Speed Reading Championship — foundational tools that unlock brain potential and foster exceptional cognitive growth.

Held annually since 1991, the championship carries the legacy of the late Professor Tony Buzan – the inventor of Mind Mapping – and Raymond Keene, world chess grandmaster and co-founder of the event. It is one of the most prestigious arenas for those passionate about memory training and the exploration of human intelligence.

Over the course of 33 seasons, the World Mind Sports Championship has welcomed tens of thousands of competitors from more than 50 countries, becoming an international battleground where ordinary individuals rise to achieve the extraordinary – accomplishing feats once thought impossible.

More than a celebration of intellect, this is a journey that honors Integrity – where honesty, perseverance, and the drive to grow are nurtured and shared across a global community of minds.
