‘Investing for the Future’ – A Round Table Discussion in Thessaloniki
On 15 November, during Balkanfila XX in Thessaloniki, an open discussion titled ‘Investing for the Future’ took place with the participation of eight prominent philatelists.
A list of topics was suggested in advance, from which the speakers were asked to select theirs on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, with the option to address a topic of their own. Each speaker was allocated seven minutes (roughly 1000 words). A brief Q&A session followed each presentation.
Speakers and topics covered:
- Ambassador Viktor Gaber (North Macedonia): ‘Our Good and Bad Habits’
- Christos Gikas (Greece): ‘Communication’
