Biograd B2B and Croatia Charter Expo

The show is held in the resort town of Biograd, at Marina Kornati and includes Ilirija hotels, restaurants, and entertainment facilities. The special atmosphere and a rich calendar of events attracts many exhibitors and visitors from all neighboring countries, making it a truly international event for those interested in boating on the Adriatic.  This show is unique, as the resort venue comes alive from morning to night, and we expect a gradual return to the social activities that make this show special, as well as many affluent international visitors that make a holiday of the event. 

During the show, the BiogradB2B business networking event will take place with an expanded congress program and social events, including the Croatian Chamber of Economy’s 5th nautical Days, The Croatia Charter Expo, and the first congress of the Boat Charter Agency Association which now has over 200 international members.
