About TIF
The Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF) is the leading general-content exhibition in Greece. It is held every September by HELEXPO at the exhibition grounds between Leoforos Stratou and the New Waterfront. 2026 will be the 90th edition.
TIF hosts hundreds of exhibitors from Greece and abroad across every sector: technology, automotive, food, shipping, energy, innovation, and many more. It includes business conferences, political speeches, and cultural events. It is the most important business event for Northern Greece.
Beyond TIF in September, the HELEXPO grounds host specialised exhibitions throughout the year: Detrop (food), Beyond (technology), FreSkon (fresh produce), Aristotelio (education), and others.
The TIF area is central: 5 min from the New Waterfront, 10 min from the White Tower, 15 min from Aristotelous Square. During TIF days demand for accommodation in Thessaloniki rises dramatically — book early.
