Posidonia Exhibitions SA is a leading organiser of trade fairs in Greece, and operates through its headquarters located in Piraeus, Greece.
Posidonia, the international shipping exhibition, has long been established as one of the major calendar events of the shipping industry. Posidonia 2022 attracted the most influential personalities from the Greek and international shipping community and major companies and organisations active in all sectors of the shipping industry. The international exhibition Posidonia first took place in 1969 and has been taking place every two years ever since.
Posidonia 2022 was the largest in terms of exhibition space and the most publicised event in the exhibition’s history and has become the largest trade show in Greece. Posidonia 2022 welcomed 1,964 exhibiting companies from 88 countries & territories and was attended by 28,892 visitors from 103 countries. In total, the exhibition was attended by 40,950 participants, including exhibitors, visitors and media representatives. The exhibition had 24 national pavilions from the following countries and territories: Austria, Bahamas, Belize, Brazil, Cayman Islands, China, Cyprus, Denmark, Georgia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Lebanon, Liberia, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Panama, Republic of Poland, Romania, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the USA.
Posidonia not only serves as a bridge linking the international shipping industry with the Greek shipowners, who operate the largest fleet globally of over 4,000 vessels, the largest under the control of any national group, but also serves as the platform that brings international shipowners in touch with the latest developments in the shipping industry and offers them direct access to the entire range of shipping products and services available on the international shipping market.
Posidonia makes an essential contribution to the Greek economy every two years, with its thousands of visitors and exhibitors boosting the tourist industry and related sectors, as more than 10,000 people visit our country for the exhibition. Specifically, it is estimated that some €70 million are generated throughout Posidonia week by exhibitor and visitor spending on hotels, restaurants, business meetings, hospitality events, stand constructions, transportation, customs clearance and movement of exhibits, etc. Moreover, such a high-quality event taking place in Athens promotes Greece and the city itself as an ideal destination for major international trade events, contributing to the future development of the MICE sector in the region and also projecting a positive image of Greece to the world.
