ECDM Expo North: Bringing Shopify to Northern Greece

At ECDM & RetailTech Expo North, we did something simple — and long overdue. We brought Shopify to Thessaloniki.

As proud sponsors of the region’s biggest eCommerce and digital marketing event, we set up at Stand No.17 inside the Vellidio Convention Center and turned it into a meeting point during October 18-19, 2025. Brands, partners, agencies, and merchants stopped by to talk growth, platforms, and where Greek eCommerce is actually heading. Not where slides say it should.

Our favorite highlight? Kostas Rossoglou, Director of International Public Policy & Government Affairs at Shopify, who joined us in Thessaloniki. With close to two decades of experience across Europe and Asia, Kostas offered a global perspective on regulation, technology, and innovation — and what all that means for merchants operating from Greece today. His talk sparked real conversations around scale, cross-border commerce, and why timing matters more than ever.

Beyond the stage, the booth became a space for open discussion. No pitches. No buzzwords. Just honest Shopify conversations. From platform choices to long-term strategy.

We also had the chance to sit down with Kostas for a short interview on Shopify in Greece and why now is the right moment for Greek merchants to step up. You can watch the first part here: 👉

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by, and to Shopify, Whale Graphics, and Epiplo Diamantopoulos for helping bring it all together.

Until next time, we’ll be busy building stores that perform.
