Award-winning Greek Brewery NISSOS partners with AMVYX, the largest and oldest distributor of alcoholic beverages in Greece, and together they invite 25 academics and experts, entrepreneurs and chefs from Greece and abroad, as well as the Press, to discuss the “next day” reality for Catering, Entertainment and Hospitality businesses.

The purpose of this online discussion is to promote a quality public discourse, and to encourage a fruitful exchange of concerns and ideas on the modus operandi of the industry in the post-lockdown era, until a life-saving vaccine effectively wipes out the COVID-19 threat. Together, we look into the new customer needs and behaviours, as well as the new operating protocols. We will seek new practices and bold interventions to ensure business viability, now under threat; and we will try to come up with risk limitation measures, along with opportunities for innovation and growth.

More than 300 Catering, Entertainment and Hospitality professionals and entrepreneurs are expected to attend the discussion.

Yannis Artinos, General Manager of AMVYX, and Alexandros Kouris, Owner of NISSOS, will address the conference.

Journalist and Co-Owner of NISSOS Magia Tsokli will be taking charge of the interviews with the industry experts and academics.

Alexis Damalas, Partner and Financial Advisory Services Leader of Deloitte, will present the findings of Deloitte’s special analysis on business economics, the existing government measures, as well as the challenges posed by the new COVID-19-related operating protocols.

Alexandros Kouris will be coordinating the discussion.
