The Summit, which analyzes and provides solutions for current issues, was founded in 2011 by Matthew A. Swift and Nicholas M. Logothetis, a member of the Greek diaspora.
In 2011, the modest launch of the first Concordia Summit in New York City attracted mostly friends and business partners of the founders.
More than a decade later, the Concordia Annual Summit in New York has become one of the most important events that run in parallel to the UN General Assembly, and the organization is now facilitating impactful year-round events around the globe.
