The 4th STAR FORUM is here! From March 29 to April 3, at the Panhellenic Exhibition Center of Lamia, under the central message: “Reach where you cannot.”
The leading multi-thematic conference, launched in 2023 with the aim of establishing itself as a key institution for public dialogue in Central Greece, returns for its fourth consecutive year. Bringing together voices from across sectors, it continues to foster discussion, reflection, and proposals on critical issues shaping the region and beyond.
Within this framework, Strategy International participates with a dedicated high-level panel titled:
“Hellenism and Geostrategic Elevation: From Systemic Uncertainty to the Shaping of Strategic Equilibria”
The discussion will focus on how ongoing transformations in the international system—ranging from geopolitical competition and energy dynamics to alliance structures—impact Greece’s strategic positioning and the broader role of Hellenism.
The panel will feature distinguished speakers:
- Professor Marios Efthymiopoulos
- Lt. Gen. (ret.) Dimokritos Zervakis
- Rear Adm. (ret) Efstathios (Stathis) Kyriakidis
- George Filis
- Lambros Kalarrytis
Through a structured dialogue, the panel will address key questions such as:
- The evolution of the international system and Greece’s role within it
- Strategic resilience and the management of geostrategic risk
- The future of alliances and Greece’s long-term strategic choices
- The conditions under which Hellenism can transition from an observer of developments to a shaper of regional and international balances
Six full days of conference events, featuring more than 40 thematic panels and over 150 speakers, all within a week of open dialogue.
On the STAR FORUM 2026 website, you can view in detail the program currently under development, as well as the speakers confirmed so far for the conference.
Institutional and academic bodies, professors, local government officials, entrepreneurs, artists, distinguished personalities from Greece and abroad, as well as individuals at the beginning of their careers, will participate in panels and one-on-one discussions, exploring topics inspired by the conference’s central message.
The next step starts with you.
Don’t just watch it—be part of it.
