Mr. Paul Kotrotsios, the founder and president of the Hermes Expo International remarked, “We are honored to serve the community for the past 25 years as a meeting point for trade, communications, and culture.”
He went on to thank the Greek-American community for being receptive to this idea, as well as for their immense support. “The main objective of the Hermes Expo has been networking and development among its patrons since its inception in 1992,” he added.
For the last 25 years, the Hermes Expo has played a vital role in bringing together Greek-American businesses locally and internationally. It has also been a gateway for American businesses to tap into the Greek American and Southeastern European marketplace. This platform has traveled to Atlantic City, New Jersey, as well as Manhattan, Chicago, and it holds its current event in Concordville, Pennsylvania.
This year’s event features business-to-business meetings, exhibitions and networking opportunities, and the TGS Seminar series. The industries represented included a wide array of products and services. The Hermes Expo provides this platform to businesses so they can have the opportunity to survey, examine, and negotiate face-to-face, business-to-business, in an open forum.
At the conclusion of the event, the Hermes Expo hosted the 2016 Awards Dinner Ceremony where leaders from the fields of public service, medicine, business, and community development were honored with the coveted Hermes Award.
