October 6–7, 2026 | Athens Taking place at the Great Hall of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Dialogues for Athens will bring together global leaders and visionaries to explore the city through three interconnected lenses: its past, its present and its future.   From Athens’ historical foundations and contemporary urban realities to climate resilience, sustainable mobility, the 15-minute city, and the transformative role of arts and culture, the two-day conference will examine the forces shaping a vibrant 21st-century metropolis.   The event is organized by To Vima in cooperation with the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, under the auspices of the City of Athens and in association with the Delphi Economic Forum.

Against this new economic backdrop, the Forum will provide a timely platform to examine the country’s transition, emerging fiscal realities and the opportunities ahead, while continuing the wider conversation on competitiveness, growth and Southeast Europe’s place within the European economy.

This two-day roundtable conference will bring together distinguished voices from politics, as well as the fields of business, academia, energy, defense and culture from both countries. Through focused discussions on Europe’s most pressing geopolitical, economic and strategic challenges, we aim to deepen Greek-German dialogue, and contribute to shared approaches for Europe’s future.

Different cities. Different perspectives. One commitment to meaningful Dialogue.
