Regional Growth Conference 2027

15 Years of Dialogue on Regional Development

The Regional Growth Conference (RGC) returns in 2027, celebrating 15 years of meaningful contributions to public dialogue on regional development.

The 15th anniversary edition will take place on March 22–24, 2027, at the Conference and Cultural Center of the University of Patras, bringing together representatives from politics, local government, business, academia, and civil society.

At a time of significant change and emerging challenges, RGC continues to serve as a meeting point for ideas, institutions, and people, placing particular emphasis on moving from planning to implementation, from ideas to partnerships, and from strategies to measurable results.

The conference's growing impact was further demonstrated in 2026, with 321 speakers, 88 sessions, and more than 1,500 in-person participants.

RGC 2027 aims to take the next step forward, introducing new thematic areas, distinguished speakers, and greater opportunities for participation and networking, with an even stronger focus on turning meaningful dialogue into action.

We look forward to welcoming you to Patras for three days of dialogue, knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and new perspectives on the future of regional development.
