The Final Countdown to the Annual General Assembly of CEFA οn June 3 in Thessaloniki

The CEFA Executive Committee meeting in Skopje set the priorities for the strategic plan of the Central European Fair Alliance for the period 2025-2030.

The strategic priorities of the exhibition industry and the initiatives of the Central European Fair Alliance (CEFA), which will hold its annual General Assembly in Thessaloniki on June 3, 2025, were the key topics discussed at the recent CEFA Executive Committee meeting in Skopje.

The two-day meeting in Skopje brought together leading figures from the exhibition sector across the Balkans and Central Europe. Representing TIF-HELEXPO was CEO Dr. Kyriakos Pozrikidis.

The CEFA Executive Committee primarily focused on renewing the organization’s corporate identity, establishing new frameworks for collaboration, and shaping the strategic plan for 2025-2030. Participants also reviewed preparations for the upcoming CEFA General Assembly in Thessaloniki, which will coincide with the 30th-anniversary celebrations of its founding.

TIF-HELEXPO’s CEO emphasized that, “We are thrilled to be preparing for the CEFA General Assembly in Thessaloniki—an event that will not only highlight our 30 years of achievements but also set the priorities for our future path. This is a pivotal moment for CEFA as we work together to ensure a dynamic and sustainable future for the exhibition industry.”

It is worth noting that from June 3-6, 2025, Thessaloniki and TIF-HELEXPO will also host the major global exhibition industry event of the year—the UFI European Conference, organized by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI). The conference will welcome 350 senior executives from the international exhibition industry from Europe and beyond.

CEFA, of which TIF-HELEXPO has been a member since 2013, is a key network of exhibition organizers in Central and Southeastern Europe. Founded in 1995, its goal has been to establish the region as a powerful international exhibition gateway that transcends national borders. CEFA’s mission is to support its members in offering businesses high-quality access to the emerging markets of Central and Southeastern Europe.
