We’re really looking forward to welcoming you to Athens for the 2026 European Conference — a great mix of focused work, inspiring conversations, and authentic Greek experiences.
This conference is at its best when you help shape it. We warmly encourage you to suggest topics you’d like to debate, questions you’re grappling with, or trends you’re seeing in your market. If your firm has a great case, insight, or practical experience to share — whether technical, strategic, or people-related — we’d love to give it a platform. Think of this as a space to exchange real knowledge, learn from each other, and turn collective expertise into tangible value for the MGI community.
Thursday, 23 April
We’ll kick off at 14:00 with our opening plenary session, wrapping up around 17:00.
After a short break, join us for a welcome drink and dinner from 19:00 — the perfect moment to reconnect with colleagues and ease into the conference atmosphere.
Friday, 24 April
Our sessions start at 09:00, with plenary discussions running until around 15:00.
We’re also delighted to welcome Yanis Varoufakis as a keynote speaker. Yanis will challenge our thinking with a powerful session on techno-feudalism — The Future of Capitalism: Why the Current Economic Model Is Failing (and What Comes Next). With his trademark clarity and provocative insight, he will explore how big tech, platforms, and data ownership are reshaping markets, power structures, and value creation — and what this means for businesses, advisers, and society at large. Expect a bold, stimulating keynote that goes well beyond economics and sparks real conversation.
From 15:30 to 19:00, we’ll head into the city centre for relaxed social activities — a chance to experience Athens together beyond the meeting room.
The day concludes with a welcome drink and dinner from 19:00 at the rooftop restaurant of Hotel Divani Acropolis, offering stunning views and a memorable setting.
Saturday, 25 April – optional post-conference experience
We’re currently organising a post-conference tour, most likely a 3-hour Greek food tour in Athens, starting at 09:30 — a delicious and informal way to wrap up your stay.
A balanced agenda, meaningful connections, and the spirit of Athens — we hope you’ll join us and make the most of it.
We look forward to hearing from you. Please contact Zoltan at [email protected]
or +36 305 25 8000 (WhatsApp).
