The Athens Democracy Forum, in association with The New York Times, is an international conference organized by The Democracy and Culture Foundation and has tracked the plight of liberal democracy for more than a decade now, seeking for ways to defend and perpetuate the ideal of rule by and for the people. What we have learned is that however disheartening the state of global governance might seem, democracy never fails to demonstrate a remarkable resiliency
On September 27-29, leading policy makers, business leaders, scholars and other experts will assemble to define, assess and tackle the critical questions about the world at this moment.
The aim of the Athens Democracy Forum is to serve as the North Star on which democracy and society can reorient themselves. It seeks to make democracy work.
The Forum’s sessions in Athens will be taking place at the Grande Bretagne Hotel, the Stoa of Attalos and the Acropolis Museum.
Immediately after the Athens Democracy Forum from September 27 to 29, a limited number of delegates will move on to “Democracy and Wellbeing” weekend at Costa Navarino from September 29 to October 1. The weekend will kick off with an exclusive conversation between Deepak Chopra and the veteran New York Times journalist Roger Cohen, exploring Chopra’s own approach to achieving this balance and to the future of wellbeing.
The weekend will then continue with a spotlight on the complex relationship between technology and wellbeing. AI is advancing at light speed, making some people concerned that the technology could garner too much power. At the same time, there are exciting applications that could actually enhance creativity and wellbeing. Is superhuman intelligence something to be feared or eagerly anticipated?

9th Greek Hospitality Awards - 2023
2023-10-20 19:00 - 23:30 (Europe/Athens) | Athenaeum InterContinental, 89-93, Leof. Andrea Siggrou, Athens, Attica, 11745, Greece
The Greek Hospitality Awards, the most established event in the Greek hospitality sector, will take place for the 9th consecutive year, under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Tourism & the Greek National Tourism Organization . The glorious ceremony will be held physical at the Athenaeum InterContinental and digital through LiveOn, the integrated platform for Digital Communication and Events, and its innovative 3D exposition and conference center LiveOn Expo Complex.
Greek Hospitality Awards rewards excellence in the sector of Greek Hotels through a fair and transparent process, in which a Judging Committee consisting of esteemed and carefully selected members as well as the audience participate with a 60/40 voting ratio.

Following the positive picture we saw in 2023, the prospects for Greek tourism in 2024 appear to be exceptionally favorable: the majority of Greek tourism businesses are seeing their turnover rising, travel receipts are up compared to 2019 and the season is longer. However, certain destinations are fading since the flow of bookings is changing, thanks to services offered not being seen as value for money, the absence of indirect promotion by businessmen and municipal authorities, and a drop in the average European’s income due to price inflation.
Profit margins may have shrunk after the rise in the cost of energy, food, contracting work, etc. for businesses which resulted in them charging more, but the bigger picture nonetheless remains positive. This year’s tourist season will see major developments in the global tourism arena. More than ever, the enhanced image of Greek companies involved in tourism is a testament to their dominance over both international and local competition.
The Greek Hospitality Awards 2023 will come to enrich hospitality marketing strategies regarding customer acquisition and retention.
