The Regional Growth Conference (RGC) serves as a public platform for dialogue between governmental, regional, academic and business representatives. Its main goal is to address challenges, best practices and policies promoted by European Institutions that need to be implemented in the Regional Development in an effort to bring forward the necessary regional governance model for Greece. Since its inception in 2013, the Regional Growth Conference takes place annually in Patras, Greece and is organized by PELOPONNISOS newspaper, which is the oldest and most historic newspaper in Greece.
