Preparation

Two other important partners of the tournament were Hustle Hours Podcast and the SPEAKERS. For the first time, our team was featured in a podcast episode to discuss the art of negotiation and the tournament itself, which you can watch here. Additionally, the Hustle Hours team conducted interviews on the second day with the Organizing Committee and contestants, showcasing the experiences, opinions, and personal stories behind the Athens Negotiations Tournament. Meanwhile, Apostolos Koumarinos, founder of theSPEAKERS, delivered a highly engaging talk to contestants before the start of the second phase of the competition, offering tips for successful negotiations.

Of course, the successful implementation of ANT2024 would not have been possible without the support of its sponsors.
