The northern port city of Thessaloniki between October 21-23, will host the 4th MCE South Europe 2018 forum, one of the most highly respected and important events in the MICE tourism industry.

Organized by Europe Congress, the MICE B2B annual event is expected to attract some 200 industry professionals.

Furthermore, industry suppliers will have the chance to participate in 35 pre-scheduled and matchmade meetings with event planners.

“Greece’s popularity is on the rise… Thessaloniki is an undiscovered pearl, that deserves to be in the spotlight for its history, renowned personalities, delicious cuisine, culture and lifestyle… also offering great views to Mount Olympus, known in mythology as ‘the house of gods’,” the organizers said in an announcement.

“The forum is the ideal opportunity for the promotion of the city as a MICE destination.”
