The largest high-level international event in Europe regarding the enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights June 12 and 13, 2025, Megaron Concert Hall, Athens, Greece
Special Press Event & LIVE EXHIBITION signed by creator JOHN PAN
The international Summit will feature important European and international decision-making bodies, law enforcement authorities, multinational corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), consumer representatives, and other relevant stakeholders.
Among other topics, discussions will include the effective handling of challenges in enforcing Intellectual Property legislation in the digital age, particularly for SMEs. Strategies will be examined to strengthen rights protection in the EU and internationally, aiming to ensure trade and consumer safety.
At the same time, solutions and best practices for collaboration in combating existing and emerging forms of crime against Intellectual Property will be proposed, strengthening the global innovative and creative environment.
The press event is addressed to Greek journalists, as well as to representatives of the International Press in Athens, who deal with Intellectual Property, the Economy, lifestyle, and general consumer information.
The goal of the communication event is to inform about the current situation in Greece in the area of product counterfeiting, the actions of the competent Authorities in real confiscation operations of counterfeit goods, and also to present, for the first time to the public, innovative operational tools.
The second part of the press event will follow, with a “live” demonstration of real confiscated counterfeit products and their destruction process.
The demonstration will be presented through a pioneering narrative choreography signed by the well-known designer JOHN PAN, serving as a manifesto against copying. Journalists, in a unique opportunity for constructive networking and reporting, will be able to document live and take photos of the choreographed act of virtual destruction of counterfeit products, conveying the message of our collective contribution to the protection of authentic creativity and, consequently, to global economic and cultural development.
It is essential for all citizens and consumers to realize that by choosing to purchase counterfeit products, they contribute to the following serious consequences
- The loss of significant turnover
• Damage to the reputation and loss of competitive advantage of lawful and creative businesses
• Serious risks to life, health, safety, and the environment
• The abetting of other criminal activities, such as the laundering of proceeds from illegal activities like fraud, cybercrime, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and human trafficking.
Participation in the communication event is only possible via written request.
Registrations for the Conference proceedings have been completed.
