Dear THLG members,
We are delighted to welcome you to the Hellenic Conference in the beautiful and historic city of Thessaloniki, Greece. This conference promises to be a memorable and enriching experience, filled with insightful discussions, networking opportunities, and a deep dive into the wonders of this remarkable city.
Thessaloniki, the cultural capital of Greece, is a city filled with history, culture, and vibrancy. Founded by King Cassander of Macedon and named after his wife Thessaloniki, the half-sister of Alexander the Great, the city has a rich heritage that dates back thousands of years. Alexander the Great, one of history’s greatest military minds, was born in the nearby city of Pella, and his legacy continues to influence the region.
As Greece's largest commercial port, Thessaloniki serves as a crucial gateway to the Balkans, fostering economic and cultural exchanges. The city's strategic location has long made it a bustling hub of trade and innovation.
The energy of Thessaloniki is palpable, thanks in large part to its high population of university students. This youthful demographic ensures a vibrant nightlife, with numerous cafes, bars, and clubs. The city's culinary scene is equally dynamic, offering a delicious range of traditional Greek dishes and modern gastronomic delights. From local tavernas to upscale restaurants, there's something to satisfy every palate.
We are particularly excited to announce that this year’s conference will feature a masterclass on Neuroscience - Practices for Optimal Decision Making by Dr. Nikolas Dimitriadis. His expertise and engaging presentation will provide invaluable insights into the field of neuroscience and its practical applications in decision-making processes.
Our conference agenda also includes cultural exploration. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit the Palace of Aiges (Vergina), the ancient capital of Macedon and the burial site of Macedonian king, Philip II. Additionally, we have planned an easy hike to the legendary Mount Olympus, the mythological home of the Greek gods, offering both breathtaking views and a chance to connect with nature.
As we prepare for this exceptional event, we also recognize the importance of sponsorships, which are crucial for the success of the Hellenic Conference, helping us to deliver a high-quality experience for all participants. We invite organizations and individuals who share our vision to support this conference through sponsorship opportunities, ensuring that we can continue to offer valuable experiences in an elegant and premium style.
We look forward to welcoming you to Thessaloniki and sharing an unforgettable experience at the Hellenic Conference.
