Dear Sirs,
As many of you probably know, on Thursday 29/6/2023, the first conference of the Association of organizers and manufacturers of exhibitions of Greece (SOKEE), was held at the Athens Mariott Hotel, and of course Project, Climatherm Energy’s organizing company, was present.
Initially, the general meeting took place with the presence of all 22 members, where, among other things, sectoral issues and many other modifications for the best possible operation and sustainability of the newly established and promising association were discussed.
Afterwards, in the Aegean Sea Ballroom, distinguished guests, including Chris Skeith, CEO of AEO and awarded by the (deceased) Queen Elisabeth with the title of OBE, Kerstin Scheffler, Senior Director of Auma, Sebastian Witt, Senior Advisor at Jwc GmbH, Joerg Zeissig, CEO of Holtmann Group, Labor Minister Adonis Georgiadis, and member of Parliament Katerina Batzeli, presented us the terrifying damage, suffered by the exhibition and not only world during the covid period, and finally the promising growth that has been slowly and steadily achieved, over the last year.
It is worth noting, that the statistics presented to us, showed that the world is in a tremendous need of communication and life contact, after the unfortunate isolation and alienation all of us experienced during the covid period, making the exhibitions necessary for information, innovation and of course human contact.
The global visitation to the exhibitions now, surpassed that of the pre- covid era, letting us understand, that the window is open and heads are turned to a new, promising future.
Finally, many congratulations to the SOKEE association, for the perfect and interesting conduct of the conference, as well as the general meeting. We expect the best and there are all the guarantees for it.
For Project Ltd,
Managing Director – Soula Kyveri – Kesmetzi
