“Dear friends and colleagues,
It is with great pride and heartfelt enthusiasm that I welcome you to Athens for the
5th HAT International Treasury Summit - our association’s flagship event and a celebration of everything that brings the treasury world together: excellence, integrity, innovation, and global connection.
This year’s Summit takes place at a time of great transformation for our profession. Treasury is no longer simply a gatekeeper of liquidity and risk—it is emerging as a strategic force in shaping business resilience and growth. In that spirit, we have designed an agenda that brings together CFOs, Group Treasurers, and fintech leaders from across Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East to engage in meaningful dialogue on what comes next.
We are especially honored to welcome many members of the Greek financial diaspora—brilliant professionals who represent Greece on the global financial stage and serve as bridges between our homeland and the world.
Whether you're attending as a speaker, a delegate, or a curious mind ready to contribute, you are not just joining a conference—you are becoming part of a living network of treasury professionals dedicated to lifting our discipline higher.
Let Athens inspire you—not only through its history and light, but through the ideas and partnerships we will shape together during this day.
Welcome to the 5th HAT International Treasury Summit. Welcome to HAT. Welcome home.
Welcome to Greece!
Alexandros G. Koliavras
HAT President
