Hosts Global Forum will be co-hosted by Conceptours, A Hosts Global Member, and will be held at the luxurious Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, located in the heart of Athens. The event will provide an opportunity for participants to explore the vibrant culture and historical treasures of Greece, while engaging in a thoughtfully curated agenda designed to inspire, educate, and build meaningful connections.
“We’re bringing our A-game to Athens for our 10th Anniversary of Hosts Global Forum,” said Kurt Paben, CEO of Hosts Global. “The Hosts Global Forum is not just a celebration of our global community, but also an opportunity to create meaningful, memorable, and motivational moments for our attendees. Our team, in collaboration with Conceptours, has crafted a dynamic experience with an incredible line-up of education, immersive activities, and plenty of surprises along the way.

Designed with unmatched creativity, the 2025 Forum will feature intention-based education with tangible takeaways, scheduled business connections with Hosts Global DMC Members from around the world, and inspiring events that will highlight Greece’s best-in-class hospitality. From exploring the ancient wonders of the city to savoring local cuisine, this year’s Forum will provide attendees a perfect blend of professional development and cultural immersion.
Tina Gaccetta, SVP of Global Sales & Marketing at Hosts Global, emphasized the significance of the Forum: “The Hosts Global Forum is our most anticipated event of the year, bringing together the best minds and talent in the MICE industry.
