The Expo

Kotrotosios’ impressive contributions to the Greek community led him to expand his influence further, beginning the Hermes Expo in 1992 with the purpose of creating a trade show environment to promote commerce, communications and culture in America and Europe.  The Hermes Expo has done that and much more, bridging the gap between Greece and America through an open market and exchange atmosphere where bargaining, marketing, selling and buying takes place leading to many entrepreneurs winning more business while strengthening professional ties with related industries.
