​

The Arrival Party of the Athens Tech Summit (ATS) on Wednesday, 17 June 2026, is crafted as a vibrant opening celebration to welcome exhibitors, participants, partners, and supporters to one of Europe’s most forward-thinking technology gatherings.

 

Set against the stunning neoclassical architecture of the Zappeio Peristyle in central Athens, a historic landmark steeped in cultural significance and grandeur, this evening will kick off the ATS experience with energy and style.

 

From 19:30 to 22:30, the Peristyle will come alive with a curated blend of music, social connection, and celebration. A live DJ will spin an eclectic mix of sounds that bridge the classic with the cutting-edge, setting a dynamic backdrop as guests mingle beneath the columns and open sky.

 

A thoughtful selection of canapés and drinks will be served throughout the evening, offering a taste of premium Greek hospitality while giving attendees a relaxing space to reconnect and forge new partnerships ahead of the Summit’s official start.

 

Beyond the music and refreshments, guests can expect an engaging sound and light show that highlights the architectural beauty of the Zappeio and enhances the festive atmosphere. Brief opening remarks from Summit hosts will frame the mission of ATS to push technology forward, deepen community ties, and celebrate the innovators who are shaping tomorrow will provide balance and inspiration.

 

This Arrival Party is designed as both a reward and a launchpad: a moment to recognise the effort and commitment of everyone involved, from exhibitors setting up their showcases to speakers and delegates traveling from around the world, and to get into the right headspace for the deep conversations and discoveries that await across the main Summit days.

 

With music, light, conversation, and community, it’s the perfect way to begin ATS 2026.
