Upfront Initiative V 2026

Upfront Initiative

We are honored to be participating for the first time in the Upfront Initiative V as a Gold Sponsor, one of the most influential events about the diversity, equity and inclusion both in the society and the workplace.

10 June 2026
Athens, Greece

The Upfront Initiative is the place to challenge the biases and stereotypes that limit access to opportunities based on gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, age, or disability, while amplifying the voices of those who often remain unseen and unheard.

For yet another year, forward-thinking organizations and individuals who refuse to be defined by stereotypes come together to foster meaningful dialogue and turn words into action.

Our Participation

We are proud to share that Athanasia Eleni Zelenitsa, Director of People & Culture of Campeon Gaming, will be joining the panel discussion:

It’s (Still) A Man’s World – Gender, Power and Persistent Inequalities

Athanasia will join a distinguished panel of speakers, including:

  • Sofia Zacharaki, Minister of Health
  • Martha Bouziouri, Director, PhD in Social Anthropology
  • Tasoula Vervenioti, Historian
  • Athina Stavrou, HR Lead, MSD Greece, Cyprus & Malta
  • Katerina Grivaki, Partner, Diversity & Inclusion Leader, PwC Greece

Despite greater visibility and ongoing public discussions around equality, many women continue to face stereotypes, invisible barriers, and unequal expectations in the workplace and public life. From leadership positions and the gender pay gap to the pressure of achieving the “perfect balance” and the burden of invisible labor, how much has the position of women truly changed today, and which inequalities are still accepted as the norm?

We are proud to be part of this important conversation, contributing to the dialogue on gender equity, inclusive leadership, and the persistent inequalities that continue to shape women’s experiences in the workplace and beyond.
