“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― Mark Twain
Our 2024 International Business Conference wrapped up our sessions in Athens which were full of excellent content and networking opportunities. It's been an incredible experience!
Our opening day, we visited the Acropolis which started our grand welcome to our International Business Conference (IBC). We followed up with sessions rich in content and spanned all areas of the Greek economy and its role in the region. Chef Maria Loi brought us great energy and reminds us that “Health is Wealth”! The delegation celebrated with a dinner that had a stunning view of the Acropolis and a visit from the US Ambassador to Greece, George Tsunis, who shared insights on Greece and took questions from our group.
We closed our Athens segment with a special dinner in honor of Chef Maria Loi who is an inspiration and role model for so many. We presented her the 2024 Entrepreneur of the Year Award and enjoyed a great celebratory meal. I am thankful for this opportunity to see Greece for the first time and meet amazing people. Discovering Greece has always been a dream of mine. As I reflect on this trip, I know this will be forever etched in my mind as a success for the FWA.
As we head to Santorini, I remain fascinated with Athens and know that I will return. Thank you, AWS & Stephanie Ackler, AKD Wealth Partners, for your sponsorship and support.
We look forward to sharing our learnings on our return!
