Hermes Expo’s Footprint on America: 35 Years Shaping Greek-American Business Identity

Founded in 1992, Hermes Expo was created as a structured, credible platform where commerce, communication, and culture intersect. At a time when organized professional networking within the Greek-American community was limited, Hermes Expo established a consistent forum where entrepreneurs, institutions, and industry leaders could connect with purpose.

Its impact is measured not simply in attendance, but in outcomes.
Businesses have expanded. Strategic alliances have formed. Chambers and institutions have strengthened ties. Young professionals have found mentorship. Greek products have gained visibility in the U.S., while American companies have deepened engagement with Greece.

For three decades, Hermes Expo has reinforced something essential: Greek-American enterprise is organized, credible, and forward-looking.

At its core, Hermes Expo is a connector between generations, industries, institutions, and leadership. It has united business, education, religion, innovation, and community under one roof, creating economic infrastructure where previously there were scattered efforts.

Now, Hermes Expo marks its 35th Anniversary with the:

35th Annual Hermes Expo International

Reflecting on the milestone, Executive Director Aphrodite Kotrotsios shared:

“Hermes Expo did not follow a trend, it created one. My father envisioned a disciplined, professional platform when nothing like it existed. He understood our community needed economic infrastructure, not just social gatherings.

For 35 years, Hermes Expo has united enterprise and leadership under one roof, strengthened the presence of Greece in America, and elevated Greek Americans across industries.”

Thirty-five years represents sustained relevance, resilience, and results.

In an era of digital, transactional connections, Hermes Expo continues to prioritize trust, presence, and in-person engagement.

Whether you are attending for the first time, returning as a long-time participant, or considering joining us as a vendor or sponsor, we invite you to experience what 35 years of credibility looks like.
