Social Program
Exclusive Reception at the National Archaeological Museum
We are delighted to announce a unique networking event that will take place on the evening of 16 September 2026.
Conference participants will enjoy a private guided visit to selected collections of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, led by the Museum’s Director General, offering rare insights into some of Greece’s most treasured archaeological artefacts.
This experience is particularly significant, as parts of the Museum’s collections will soon become inaccessible for several years due to an extensive renovation programme. Following the tour, participants will be invited to an exclusive reception in the Museum’s Atrium, reserved exclusively for TC301 delegates after public closing hours.
The Welcome Reception is offered complimentary to all registered conference participants and provides an exceptional opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, establish new professional relationships, and enjoy an unforgettable cultural experience in the heart of Athens.
