Together We Go Further:
Greece Leadership Summit
October 20-27, 2026
We’re taking leaders to the birthplace of democracy to study what happens when societies think long-term and what happens when they don’t.
Greece lets us connect democracy, oceans, shipping, waste, tourism, and climate into one lived system. This isn’t advocacy. It’s literacy. You will leave understanding what stewardship looks like in Greece and where capital, policy, and leadership can intervene on a global scale.
Trip Highlights:
Experience Greece on land and sea
2 days and 3 nights exploring Athens and Delphi through a perspective far beyond the typical tourist experience, designed to offer deeper access, context, and connection to place.
3 days and 4 nights aboard the Voyager yacht, traveling from island to island while learning firsthand how the Athansios C. Laskaridis Foundation is advancing meaningful, on-the-ground sustainability efforts.
Programming will include a balance of speaker sessions, structured conversation, and immersive adventure.
Foster meaningful connections at intimate salon dinners where ideas flow freely over delectable cuisine.
