Epikast Dinner Series

A private, invitation-only series designed to bring together leading voices in biotechnology for candid, high-level discussions.

What defines the series

We organize private, invitation-only dinners co-hosted by our Chairman, Stelios Papadopoulos, and CEO, Vangelis Vergetis. Each time we invite a “guest of honor” who provides some overall thoughts and framing for the conversation.

The aim is to enable an open and candid conversation on the forces shaping the industry today. We follow the Chatham House Rule and do not publish any minutes, summary, or participant names and affiliations.

Obviously, the cuisine is always Greek, the participants are opinionated, and the conversation gets increasingly animated as the evening progresses.
