Athens Metropolitan Expo center

This June's Posidonia shipping exhibition is on track to set new records in exhibitor numbers and floor space, organizers stated on Monday.
More than 2,000 exhibitors from over 90 countries and tens of thousands of trade visitors from the global shipping community are expected to attend the event at the 50,000-square meter Athens Metropolitan Expo Center.

"The business of publications and conferences is basically the same thing: bringing people together, like an ancient agora," says Themistocles Vokos, one of the main forces behind the biennial Posidonia exhibition that opens on Monday at the Athens Metropolitan Expo center.
