For the first time in its history, the Global Stone Congress (GSC)—the premier international technical and scientific event dedicated to the dimension stone sector—will take place in Greece, specifically in the city of Drama, from June 16 to 20, 2025. This will be the eighth edition of the event, and it is expected to attract professionals, researchers, and industry representatives from across the globe.
GSC2025 will feature a dynamic program of lectures, panel discussions, and thematic sessions focusing on three key areas: Architecture, Innovation, and Sustainability. These themes reflect the evolving challenges and opportunities in the stone industry, aiming to foster dialogue between diverse scientific and professional fields.
A highlight of the congress will be the technical visits to local quarries and stone processing plants, offering participants a unique opportunity to observe production processes first-hand, exchange knowledge, and strengthen international collaboration.
The choice of Drama as the host city is significant, as the region is one of Greece’s most important centers for the stone industry, with a long-standing tradition and strong presence in international markets.
The Global Stone Congress 2025 promises to be a vital platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, and innovation, playing a key role in the continued development and global outreach of the dimension stone sector.
