2026 Symposium “Becoming AI-First: Reinventing Work and Organizations”
2026 Symposium | SEV Center of Excellence in Creative Leadership: “Becoming AI-First: Reinventing Work and Organizations”
Thursday, 19 March 2026 | 09:00 – 15:30
Pharos, Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC)
We are at the cusp of a transformation unlike anything before it. AI is not coming to automate processes — it is coming to redesign the way we organize work, make decisions, and create value.
Most companies today are using AI to do faster what they already did. The real question is different: if you were building your organization from the ground up today — no legacy systems, no inherited org chart, no “this is how we’ve always done it” — with AI as the founding principle, how would you go about it? What opportunities would you prioritize?
This is the essence of the challenge facing most companies today: Becoming AI-First.
Keynotes
Marshall Van Alstyne, Professor, Boston University “Deepfakes and Deep Decisions: Using Markets to Clear Misinformation”
AI generates misinformation at industrial scale. The problem has a precise economic structure — and a market-based solution that makes truth cheap and lying expensive, without censorship or central authority.
Shane Greenstein, Professor, Harvard Business School “Commercial Breakthroughs and the AI Gold Rush”
What separates winners from the rest is not the technology — it is the organizational redesign required to translate AI into lasting business value. History has a clear pattern. This keynote explains where the value actually accrues.
Panels
Two panels of Greek business leaders from Eurobank, Interamerican, HELLENiQ ENERGY, Olympia Group, Workable, Kotsovolos, Space Hellas and Qualco Group bring operational reality to the table.
How the role of people is being redefined alongside AI agents, what a credible AI strategy actually looks like, and how competitive advantage is built in a world where everyone has access to the same tools.
Two keynotes that frame the intellectual stakes. Two panels that bring the business experience. And an event format that makes room for real conversation.
