Based in Athens, its annual conference takes place in Delphi, close to the archaeological site of the same name, one of the most significant locations in ancient Greece, and historically regarded by the ancient Greeks as the center of the world.[4]
Annual Conference
Since its establishment in 2016 there has been a Delphi Economic Forum conference every year, with most lasting around four days and all hosted in the European Cultural Centre of Delphi,[5][6] except the 2020 conference which had to be held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic and it was broadcast from the Zappeion Hall in Athens.[7] Each conference has up to 1000 speakers or more and they mostly consist of politicians, academics and journalists, with key people such as world leaders present in all of them.[8]
