Athens Bar Show

When it first launched, back in 2010 it was named “The Bar Academy Show” and was held in the MetropolitanExpo, next to Athens airport. At launch, the 9 exhibitors were visited by around 1.000 visitors. That was the beginning of an effort to establish an institution that would become the annual Meeting of the bar industry. In the years that followed, Athens Bar Show was supported by every company that is involved in the industry, directly or indirectly.

The year 2012 was a landmark: the Athens Bar Show is relocated to a venue in the center of Athens, “The Hub Events”. Visitors could now enjoy an easy, comfortable and, above all safe, access to the exhibition by means of public transportation.
The visitor count in 2013 went up to an incredible 3.000 people which showed the need to relocate the 2014 exhibition to a larger and better suited venue – so Technopolis go the Municipality of Athens was selected. The exhibition grew very rapidly with 7.000 visitors in 2015. In 2016, 8.000 visitors had the invaluable opportunity to visit, meet and learn from 58 exhibiting companies (domestic and international) giving over 80 hours of seminars, presentations, and case studies. Athens Bar Show is regarded as one of the largest bar shows in the World, having as a pillar the spread of education and knowledge.

Visitors to the exhibition, organized by Bar Academy Hellas, can stay informed with current and emerging trends, discover new and exciting products and equipment, learn and get inspired by successful business models, learn and grow through seminars and workshops.
