This time our meeting was set for Sunday morning 16 May. The National Commissioners had the opportunity to get to know the Zappeion, the recently chosen venue in place of the Peristeri Exhibition Centre, which was taken over by the government in order to be used as a vaccination centre. They were next acquainted with the “Plaka”, the official hotel, which is at walking distance from the exhibition grounds.
Following a brief presentation of the exhibition features, and a demonstration of the on-line software (https://cometonotos.hps.gr), the discussion was focused on the general attitude of the exhibitors to participate in international exhibitions. The acceleration in vaccinations all across Europe day-in day-out will reverse the exhibitors’ reluctance very quickly. In Greece, for example, it took for ever to reach the 20 vaccinations per 100 people mark, but in exactly five weeks before the Meeting we reached 40 vaccinations per 100 people. Right now, we are moving even faster!
Finally, let us remind our exhibitors that the deadline for participation in NOTOS 2021 is 31 May.
