Posidonia Events

📣 Posidonia 2026 officially took centre stage today during the Press Conference held in Piraeus, ahead of the opening of the world’s leading maritime exhibition on 1 June.

With more than 40,000 maritime professionals expected to gather in Athens, this edition is anticipated to be the largest and most significant in Posidonia’s history.

This year’s exhibition will feature a record 24 national pavilions spread across the Athens Metropolitan Expo’s 45,000 square metres. In total 2,227 exhibitors from 83 countries and territories will participate, representing every sector of the international shipping industry.

The global maritime community is preparing to meet once again in the Home of Shipping.

We are proud to announce the exclusive corporate gift created through the collaboration between and Posidonia.

Inspired by Poseidon, the god of the sea, this unique commemorative gift has been specially designed for Posidonia 2026, symbolising protection, prosperity, and the enduring connection between Greece and the maritime world.

Engraved with the phrase “Blessings and Safe Travels” - «Αγαθή Τύχη και Ευπλοΐα», the gift reflects a timeless wish for good fortune and calm seas, values deeply rooted in Greek heritage and seafaring tradition.

A meaningful symbol of hospitality, culture, and maritime excellence, this special creation celebrates the spirit of Posidonia and the global shipping community it brings together.
