The only premium event, in Greece, for architecture and design was a huge success, with record attendance.
The unique concept and vision of The Architect Show not only upgrades year after year but seems to exceed all expectations in terms of acceptance and dynamic establishment. The fourth edition proved that The Architect Show is an innovative platform that perfectly meets the needs of the architectural community.
On 10 and 11 December, The Architect Show 2022 at the Metropolitan EXPO exhibition centre became the main gathering place for 6,000 visitors of architects, engineers, designers and manufacturers for two days of networking with 150 leading brands, information from more than 60 talks and inspiration from a total of 6 thematic, innovative installations!
The organizing company MEDEXPO S.A., satisfied by both the results and the rave reviews it received from exhibitors and visitors for this unique and innovative b2b exhibition experience for architecture and design, has already started preparations for the next edition in December 2023!
