350 senior executives from the international exhibition industry to shape the sector’s future

The UFI European Conference 2025, the major gathering for the global exhibition industry, will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece from June 3-6, 2025. The announcement was recently made at the UFI Global Congress in Cologne.

This groundbreaking and innovative conference will bring together 350 senior executives from the exhibition industry across Europe and beyond.

For the first time, UFI will also organize the European Event Week during these dates, featuring a series of events dedicated to the global exhibition industry, with the European Conference in Thessaloniki as the highlight.

March 6-9, 2025, Neapoli Covered Market, Larissa

The Panhellenic Exhibition for Agriculture and Livestock, Agrothessaly, is just one step away from full capacity—three months ahead of its scheduled dates, from March 6 to 9, 2025. Demand for exhibition space has exceeded all expectations.
Agrothessaly, a regional exhibition with national reach, is the result of a strategic partnership between TIF-HELEXPO and the Municipality of Larissa. Held biennially at the Neapoli Covered Market in Larissa, the exhibition focuses on:

• Showcasing domestic and international agricultural and livestock products.
• Highlighting the latest advancements in agricultural technology.
• Promoting commercial networking for exhibitors both within Greece and abroad.

The new Municipal Administration of Larissa has embraced the Agrothessaly institution from the outset, investing in its strategic collaboration with TIF-HELEXPO. This partnership underscores the importance of the agricultural sector and agri-food industry as invaluable assets for Larissa and the broader Thessaly region.
