One of the most anticipated highlights of the 16th DIY & Home Improvement Conference is the presence of Silvan, Denmark’s Top of Mind DIY retailer comes to Athens, with over 55 years of history and 45 stores across Scandinavia.
 Klaus Dolmer, the company’s CEO, will be in Athens to share Silvan’s strategy and vision with the Greek audience. The company aims to become the most convenient and modern destination for consumers.
The conference will take place on Wednesday, November 12, at the Benaki Museum (138 Pireos Street) and is organized by Karydakis Media, bringing together the leading players in tools, paints, building materials, and Home & Garden equipment.
Denmark, one of the five most digitized countries in the world, provides valuable examples to the Greek market of how technology can enhance customer experience.
