Delphi Economic Forum Returning as Live Event: April 6-9

The Delphi Economic Forum 2022 is returning to the historic town of Delphi in central Greece for its seventh edition that will take place as a live event during April 6-9.

The forum in 2020 was held online due to the outbreak of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, while in 2021 it took place in a hybrid form in Athens.

This year, the forum returns to Delphi with some 780 confirmed speakers from 36 countries.

“We are happy to return to Delphi after the unfortunate events of the last couple of years,” Delphi Economic Forum President Symeon Tsomokos told reporters during a press conference on Tuesday.

“We have 314 speakers coming from abroad… This means that Delphi Forum is not a Greek event any more… it has taken an international dimension,” he added.
