The World Ahead 2025 – Athens Gala Dinner

Just weeks into 2025, Donald Trump’s return to the American presidency is furiously upending established protocol. The American government’s relationship with its people, businesses and the rest of the world is being rapidly transformed. Elsewhere citizens of other countries, half of whom voted in elections last year, are also coming to terms with new governments, new conflicts, worsening climate change and the dramatic impact of new technologies on their lives. In a landscape of change and uncertainty, what does the rest of the year have in store?
 
Join The Economist in Athens on January 28th when Tom Standage, the deputy editor of The Economist and editor of The World Ahead 2025, will share his predictions for the year. The event will bring together intellectually curious readers of The Economist from business, government and academia as well as experts and motivating speakers from across Europe. After welcome drinks Mr Standage and his guests will discuss the events and trends to look out for this year. With a focus on the host country guests will also be asked for their insight, and foresight, about Greece’s future.
 
The evening’s programme includes considerable socialising and networking opportunities, a three-course dinner, question-and-answer sessions and a chance to test your own predictions —and win an exclusive prize.
