Connect Tourism & Travel Event Thessaloniki 2026

From 26 to 28 April 2026, the Thessaloniki Convention Bureau will host the 6th edition of its signature B2B gathering, the Connect Tourism & Travel Event, at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall.

As a prominent fixture in the domestic meetings calendar, this event serves as a vital networking hub for the wider Greek tourism and travel sector. The three-day programme is structured to facilitate direct engagement between local suppliers - including Professional Congress Organisers (PCOs), DMCs and hospitality providers - and a curated group of international hosted buyers, such as association representatives, corporate event planners, and tour operators.

The core of the event comprises pre-scheduled B2B meetings, supported by destination presentations and targeted networking sessions. For members of the This is Athens Convention & Visitors Bureau network, the Connect Event represents a strategic opportunity to interact with the global meetings market, observe shifting industry trends and explore collaborative opportunities that strengthen Greece's overall positioning as a top-tier destination for international conferences and corporate events.
