About the Exhibition

BEYOND, the leading international technology and innovation exhibition in Southeast Europe, returns from 17-19 June 2026 at the Metropolitan Expo in Athens. After the successful 2025 event, BEYOND 2026 comes to highlight the present and future of technology and innovation, with an emphasis on sustainability, applied digital strategy and innovative solutions to market needs.

Through a multi-level exhibition and conference program, BEYOND 2026 will focus on the most key technological trends of the time:

• the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into work and everyday life
• the emerging importance of cybersecurity
• the most modern solutions to support small and medium-sized enterprises
• the digitalization of the public sector and governance.
• Smart Cities, GovTech, Green Mobility and digital services of local government
• ESG applications for resilient and sustainable societies, and of course
• innovation coming “from below”, through startups and spin-offs.

And that’s not all…

The BEYOND 2026 conference, the largest international conference on artificial intelligence in Greece, will be a hub for analysis, discussion and strategic dialogue, bringing together visionaries, decision-makers and pioneers from all over the world. Its themes will highlight how cutting-edge technologies can be either catalysts for just societies or tools for the concentration of power – depending on who controls them, how they design them, and to whom they are addressed.
