The story
When it was created, in 2010, it was called "The Bar Academy Show" and took place at the Metropolitan Expo, next to the airport - 9 exhibitors participated and it was visited by about 1,000 visitors. This was the beginning of the effort to create a new institution that will become the annual appointment for the bars industry. In the years that followed, the event had the support of all companies with direct and indirect activity in the industry.
A special milestone is the event of 2012, where the "Athens Bar Show" was transferred to the center of Athens, in the modern space of "The Hub Events" to better serve visitors, offering very easy, comfortable and above all safe access to the exhibition with use of public transport.
In 2013 the number of visitors reached 3,000 which led to it being transferred to the Technopolis of the Municipality of Athens for 2014. In 2016 the number of visitors reached 8,000 while in 2017 8,500 and more than 50 companies participated, from Greece and abroad.
In 2018, 9,000 visitors from Greece and abroad had the opportunity to try more than 500 products and attend more than 70 seminars, talks, tastings, workshops, and masterclasses, while in 2019 more than 10,000 professionals from 47 different countries visited the exhibition. In 2021 due to the restrictions, the number of visitors exceeded 7,000, while it bounced back strongly in 2022 with more than 12,000 visitors.
For the organization of 2023 we expect even more.
The Athens Bar Show is the favorite bar show of the global bar community that maintains its main pillars: education, networking in the industry, and sharing knowledge, ideas, and inspiration for the professionals who visit it.
The Athens Bar Show is organized by the Bar Academy Greece.
