Approximately 80 women have already signed up for the inaugural Global Women and Hellenism Conference – Greece 2024, scheduled to take place from 2 to 6 September at the Grand SERAI Congress & Spa Hotel in Ioannina, Greece.

The event, announced by the Food For Thought Network (FFTN) this week, aims to bring together Greek women from the diaspora and Greece, fostering connections, celebrating shared heritage, and igniting cultural enrichment that transcends borders.

Organiser FFTN addressed an open call out to interested participants to achieve the goal of 100 registrants by the end of November.

Promising to showcase “the multifaceted identity and excellence of Greek women globally, spanning academia, professions, businesses, and community leadership”, the conference will feature presenters with shared backgrounds and life journeys contributing to both the host country and Greece.

FFTN urges prospective participants to express interest by completing the online form https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9YR7KG6 by 28 November. A follow-up email in early December to those who expressed interest will provide details on securing their room and spot at the conference.

For prospective presenters, the call for abstracts is now open. Individuals interested in speaking at the conference are encouraged to complete and submit the abstract form by 31 January using the following link:
