Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed colleagues, and friends,
On behalf of the Hellenic Shipbrokers Association Board of Directors, it is with great pride and pleasure that we invite you to the forthcoming Pireas 2025. This momentous event, marking our 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee, will be held at the Peace and Friendship Stadium on July 3rd and 4th, 2025.
The Latin root of “jubilee,” “jubilum,” perfectly encapsulates the spirit of celebration and joy we aim to share with the global shipping community. Pireas 2025 will be a golden opportunity to strengthen existing relationships, forge new connections, and explore the future of our industry.
Since 1995, the Pireas Gala and Forum has been the premier gathering of maritime leaders, hosted by the Hellenic Shipbrokers Association every two years. As Greek shipping continues to thrive, we, as brokers, are committed to providing exceptional services and contributing to the industry’s ongoing success.
We look forward to welcoming you to Pireas 2025 and celebrating this milestone together.
