Welcome Address

Dear Members, dear friends and colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we, as Chairs of the ICCA Mediterranean Chapter and the ICCA France–Benelux Chapter, warmly welcome you to Thessaloniki for the ICCA Mediterranean & France–Benelux Joint Chapter Meeting, taking place from 17 to 19 June 2026.

Thessaloniki — a city renowned for its openness, warmth, and strong sense of community — offers the perfect backdrop for our gathering. With its rich history, vibrant present, and relaxed Mediterranean spirit, it embodies the ideal environment for connecting people, exchanging ideas, and strengthening professional relations.

This joint meeting represents a meaningful opportunity for our two Chapters to come together with a common purpose: to connect, collaborate, and engage in constructive dialogue about the future of our industry, all within a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Our conference and social programme have been carefully designed to reflect these values. They blend insightful content with opportunities for exchange, collaboration, and genuine connection. Together, they create a balanced and inspiring experience that extends beyond the meeting room, encouraging both professional engagement and personal interaction.

We are truly delighted to welcome you and look forward to sharing enriching days together in Thessaloniki.

Warm regards,

Dimitris Ganitis
ICCA Mediterranean Chapter Chair
Managing Director
