HAPCO (Hellenic Association of Professional Congress Organizers),
from its foundation in 1996 to this day, continues its mission
dynamically, with the aim to represent professional congress organizers
as well as companies offering a broad range of services and products
relevant to the congress market.
Over the years, HAPCO, with the essential contribution of its members,
has developed into one of the principal institutions in the Greek tourism
sector and has been acknowledged as the official partner of the Greek
State on issues relating to the meetings industry.
HAPCO’s international presence is equally important, as it constitutes a
founding member of EFAPCO (European Federation of Associations of
Congress Organisers) and participates frequently in its activities.
HAPCO’s members, which nowadays exceed 100, stand out for their
dynamic presence in the realm of tourism and include congress
organizers, conference centres, convention centres and resort hotels,
hotels with conference facilities, audiovisual companies, catering
companies, booth design - and construction companies, publishing
houses, business consultants, public relations and advertising
companies, software companies, car rental and VIP transportation
companies, airlines, cruise companies, educational institutions etc.
Thanks to their increased Specialization, significant Know-How and
long-time Experience, HAPCO’s members offer services of high quality
that boost the competitiveness of Greek congress tourism and,
concomitantly, increase the success of each organization.
HAPCO’s activity is directed by a number of effective goals and
targeted actions that serve its vision of growth and promote the
development of the Greek congress industry:
•
The shielding of the profession of conference organizers on a
national level.
•
The promotion of its members in the domestic and international
congress market through the exploitation of modern communication
channels.
•
The submission of proposals to the Greek State for planning out the
sector s future and the subsequent implementation of congress tourism
policy.
