What is «The Forum Exhibition»
It is staged within the Forum venue itself at the prestigious Athens, Hilton Hotel. Over two days it is open to access free of charge to all delegates and members of public. The last Forum Exhibition had over 3,000 visitors pass through its doors and this time round we are anticipating reaching the 4,000 mark.
Strategically placed between the main conference room seating 650 delegates and the Business2Business suite that is planned to host up to 300 private B2B meetings, the Exhibition is sure to see much traffic and interest in all kiosks.
Presented in Partnership with Acumenisys, the Forum Exhibition is sure to bring dividends to those wishing to present their products, services or organisations to a valuable and growing marketplace of 22 Arab nations.
All exhibitors will be listed in the Exhibition guide to be released 5 days before the Forum begins and advertising pages are offered to exhibitors at greatly discounted rates.
The Arab Greek Economic Forum Exhibition touches a specific and important market and that is why we are limited to 36 kiosks of various sizes only. If you are keen to learn more about this exhibition or the Forum itself, you should logon to the websites shown in this media pack.
