AFEA Congress was honoured to be represented by its CEO, Sissi Lignou, at the recent high-profile networking dinner and weekend hosted by The Women Network at Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki. The event, now an established platform for female enablement and professional connection, welcomed a select group of twenty-five women leaders from diverse industries for two days of dialogue, inspirational exchange and connection.
While the programme included wellness sessions, thought-provoking discussions and culinary explorations, the first evening's elegant dinner at the Regency Ballroom stood out as a highlight of the gathering. It was during this exclusive evening that Ms Lignou participated, joining fellow professionals in a warm and refined atmosphere curated to celebrate women’s stories and achievements. She had the chance to emphasise the value and privilege of being a professional in the global meetings industry, while also sharing her journey and passion with other inspirational women leaders.
Initiated at Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki just two years ago, The Women Network has evolved into a vibrant and impactful initiative connecting female professionals from Athens, Thessaloniki and beyond. What began as a series of intimate dinners has grown into a dynamic community that encourages leadership, innovation and mutual support among women shaping the future of business and society through inspirational ideas, stories and personalities.
AFEA Congress, committed to supporting leadership and progress within the global meetings industry, is proud to align with initiatives that enable professionals and foster meaningful connections. Ms Lignou’s participation in The Women Network dinner reaffirms the company’s values of inclusivity, excellence and collaboration. Our gratitude goes to Mrs Elena Biniari, General Manager Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki, and all stakeholders who contributed to this remarkable experience and the beginning of this meaningful journey, for the honourable invitation.
