PerCon 2026: Business and Vacation Combined

PerCon, the maritime sector's most innovative business platform, is taking a revolutionary step in 2026. Held aboard the Selectum Blu Cruises ship between April 15-18, 2026, PerCon 2026 promises participants an extraordinary business and networking experience. Going far beyond traditional fair and conference formats, this event will bring attendees together along an unforgettable route stretching from Çeşme to Bodrum, and then to Rhodes.

Event General Coordinator, Cüneyt Yalınkılıç, described the thinking behind this unique concept with the words, "Our goal, as always, was to keep participants together as much as possible and create a non-standard environment for them. The cruise ship emerged as an indispensable option in this sense. Only our guests will be on the ship; this offers a tremendous opportunity for everyone to establish deeper connections with each other."

The New Address for the Global Network: PerCon

PerCon 2026 is more than just a business event; it is a platform designed for industry professionals. Participants will have the chance to spend three nights on the same ship with over 90 global buyers and more than 120 select suppliers. This close-knit environment will allow for the formation of trust and friendship bonds, in addition to formal meetings. The organization is being hosted by PROSENTEZ, a media communication company that also launched Türkiye's first sector-specific television channel, GİSBİR TV.

For Maximum Efficiency: One-on-One Meetings

The pre-scheduled one-on-one appointment system, one of PerCon's strongest features, will operate with the same meticulousness in the cruise concept. Participants will be able to conduct goal-oriented meetings in 20-minute periods. This system guarantees the most efficient use of time and ensures that both parties make the most valuable connections. Thanks to the appointment system, attendees will have the opportunity to schedule the most suitable meetings for their business objectives among the 90 buyers.

The Champions League of the Sector All Together

PerCon 2026 also stands out with its participant profile. The event will host over 90 buyer companies, which can be described as the "Champions League" of the sector, including major companies from countries such as Greece, Azerbaijan, and the United Arab Emirates. A strong turnout is especially expected from Greek shipowner and shipyard representatives. This diversity opens the door to new collaborations for Turkish suppliers as well as international companies.
