Panel Discussion Title:
"The Private Dinner Session: A Manifesto for the Future (As usually Discussed Behind Closed Doors)"

In this landmark session, the e-Commerce Conference creates a "boardroom setting" on stage, hosting a high-stakes dialogue between the market’s most influential leaders.

For the first time, the CEOs of ATCOM, Elegento, Lighthouse, Sleed, and Think Plus will share the "Private Dinner" conversations that usually happen behind closed doors. Moving beyond vanity metrics and standard case studies, these five industry leaders will outline a Strategic Manifesto for 2026.

Moderated by Professor George Doukidis, they will tackle the "Glass Ceiling" of the Greek market, the paradox of trust in the AI era, and the radical evolution of the Agency-Client partnership. This is not just a panel; it is a rare glimpse into the collective intelligence of the leaders shaping the future of Greek e-commerce.

No slides. No scripts. Just the raw blueprint for what comes next.
