Dear Colleagues,

As Chair of the 2025 Conference Task Force and President of the AGORA Federation, I am pleased to invite you to join us in Athens, Greece, from September 18–20, 2025, for the Annual AGORA Conference.

This year’s conference will explore the theme “Living Well with RMDs: Innovation, Empowerment & Holistic Care.” Our goal is to spotlight emerging strategies that go beyond traditional treatment—embracing a broader view of well-being that includes mental health, physical rehabilitation, family support, and personalized medicine.

We’ll dive into cutting-edge topics like AI in rheumatology, biologics, complementary therapies, hormone and reproductive health, and the daily realities of living with multiple autoimmune diseases. Our workshops and sessions are designed to equip participants with practical knowledge and inspire stronger support networks for patients and caregivers alike.

The conference will be held on-site at the Stratos Vassilikos Hotel in central Athens, with all sessions recorded and available online post-event. AGORA will continue to support one representative per member association for participation and reimbursement. In 2024, we had participants from 13 member associations—this year, we expect full representation from all associations across our member countries, amplifying the collective voice of over 25 million patients in Southern Europe.

Join us in Athens to connect, learn, and contribute to shaping a future where patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases live fuller, more empowered lives.

Warm regards,
Andri Phoka
President, AGORA Federation
