## History[edit]

In 2016, Chairperson Symeon G. Tsomokos, founded the Delphi Economic Forum as a non profit organisation based in Athens. The annual meeting takes place in Delphi, and gathers leader from different sectors.[12][13]

The first Delphi Economic Forum (I) was initiated under the auspices of the President of the Hellenic Republic Mr. Prokopis Pavlopoulos on 25 February 2016 at the European Cultural Centre of Delphi.[14]

Since then the forum is considered a political, social and financial event within the wider region with international appeal.[15] Attendees from 32 countries, and more than 200 media representatives join in the annual meetings.[16]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 5th Delphi Economic Forum 2020 edition became a virtual event, featuring live streaming keynote speeches and discussions with both Greek and international speakers.[17] The four-day digital summit, entitled "The Day After", focused mainly on the impact of the COVID-19 phenomenon across the economy and society. The forum took place virtually in 9–12 June and broadcast its program live from Zappeion Megaron in Athens.[18]

## Organization[edit]
