Conferences and corporate events in Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki
Where vibrant city energy meets the Aegean.
Thessaloniki DMC
Greece's second city, made for meetings
Conferences and corporate events in Thessaloniki benefit from a city that is lively all year, easy to reach and full of character. Roman arches, Byzantine churches and a long seafront promenade sit alongside university districts, conference venues and one of Greece's most celebrated food scenes. The beaches of Halkidiki are close by for leisure days. One Event organised the ISST Schema Conference here in May 2026, and we plan and deliver conferences, meetings and incentives across Northern Greece end to end.
Best for
- Conferences and congresses, including academic and association events
- Company meetings in city hotels and conference centres
- Year-round programmes, since the city does not depend on the summer season
- City and beach combinations with Halkidiki
Signature experiences
- Seafront walk. The promenade to the White Tower at sunset.
- Food tour. Markets, bougatsa and meze in a city famous for its cooking.
- Upper Town. Byzantine walls and views over the bay from Ano Poli.
- Halkidiki day. A boat or beach day on the peninsulas south of the city.
- Vergina. The royal tombs of ancient Macedonia, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
