In today’s world, communication is a key factor that builds bridges between people and ideas. Within this context, ena Development Consultants, a company with a history dating back to 2006, has created its new service, #enaevents, which designs and implements corporate, educational, and informational events and conferences—whether in-person, hybrid, or remote participation—in both the physical and digital realms.

How did the idea for such a unique Business Unit within ena Development Consultants come about?

The need for continuous education and updating is critical for our personal and professional development in the information age and in a world that never stops evolving. Meanwhile, businesses, organizations, and educational institutions face a dynamic and competitive market that demands adaptation and innovation. In this modern environment, communication and networking capabilities are vital tools that enable businesses and organizations to stay connected, share knowledge, and exchange ideas for their success.

The team at ena Development Consultants always enjoys listening to the needs of the people in the wider region of Eastern Macedonia & Thrace, where the company operates, following the vision of its co-founders, Dimitris Bardakidis and Stavros Amoiras. Through daily interaction with them and the trust-based relationships that have been built, the genuine need of businesses and organizations collaborating with the ena team for communication and informing their audience has emerged clearly.

Dimitris Bardakidis: #enaevents was created to meet a need we identified — the ability to organize high-standard events by a reliable partner based in the Eastern Macedonia & Thrace region, so as to serve the public and private organizations of the area.

The region of Eastern Macedonia & Thrace, after all, is an area with many successful small businesses, active higher education institutions, and organizations eager to share their vision. Additionally, the region offers a unique experience for visitors, combining natural beauty, history, gastronomy, culture, and multiculturalism into an amazing destination. These advantages make Eastern Macedonia & Thrace a “hidden treasure” not only for Greek conference tourism but for tourism in general.

Stavros Amoiras: What ena Development Consultants aims to create with its #enaevents service is the transformation of communication goals into unforgettable experiences. With an emphasis on detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence, we have built a team dedicated to turning an ordinary gathering into a unique experience. Whether it’s the emotional connection and atmosphere of a live event or the seamless integration of technology in a digital connection, #enaevents ensures that every participant leaves with more than just memories — they gain inspiration and feel a genuine sense of connection.

Faithful to its mission to contribute to the economic and social development of the regions where it operates, ena Development Consultants, through its #enaevents service, highlights this treasure and strengthens it by combining it with a distinctive sense of hospitality. With a long-standing business presence in the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, it knows the area well, like its own home, and is familiar with all the available options that meet the needs of every type and size of event.

What makes #enaevents stand out?

The people behind it. 

At the core of the dynamic #enaevents team are enthusiastic professionals with names and faces. Sophia Argyriadou, Maria Karyofylaki, Katerina Kananidou, and Christos Pitiakoudis leverage their expertise, combining professionalism with personal care, to meticulously manage every detail of each event. The team is further supported by Nana Zygoura, a business development, marketing, and communications consultant.

The spirit of collaboration.

Sofia: We collaborate with talented professionals from every specialty and simultaneously train the teams of the companies and organizations that trust us, so that we add extra value to every event we design and execute.

The creative and dynamic team of #enaevents is supported by experienced internal and external collaborators from various specialties, who effectively meet the demands of every modern event. They also work closely with the staff of the companies and organizations that trust them — from defining the event’s objectives, detailed planning, selecting the ideal venue, communicating with all stakeholders, comprehensive event promotion, managing catering, designing parallel activities, to coordinating all the key points and small details that make each event unique and successful.

The utilization of technology.

Maria: Modern technologies are among the most important tools utilized by #enaevents in our in-person and hybrid events, as well as in those held online.

Remote participation events in the digital world particularly flourished during the Covid-19 pandemic and continue to grow. According to a study by Northwestern University: it was found that virtual conferences are equally—if not more—effective in encouraging interactions and, consequently, in sparking new collaborations among scientists.

The region of Eastern Macedonia is our home, and we enjoy welcoming the participants of our events to carefully selected beautiful and functional venues in the area, as well as to our own welcoming multipurpose space, #enahub.

At #enahub, a vibrant hub of creativity and a meeting point for people and ideas from all sectors with a shared goal of development, education, innovation, and entrepreneurship, participants enjoy exceptional hospitality.
