What Optimum does
Optimum (legal name: OPTIMUM EVENTS GREECE SINGLE MEMBER S.A.) is a privately held Destination Management Company (DMC) founded in 1999 and headquartered in Maroussi, Athens, Greece. The company plans and executes corporate MICE events across ten Greek destinations — Athens, Crete, Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes, Corfu, Costa Navarino, Thessaloniki, Halkidiki, and a curated set of "Hidden Treasures" locations (Zagori, Mani, Meteora, Tinos, Hydra, etc.). Its service portfolio covers seven core product lines: Meetings & Conferences, Incentive Trips, Product Launches, Unique Events, Team Events, Sports & Activities, and CSR & Green Events, plus add-on modules such as Sustainability Services and exclusive venue experiences (e.g., Acropolis Museum private dinners). Notable commercial validations include delivering the Dior Cruise 2022 Collection fashion show at the Panathenaic Stadium and hosting the fourth edition of the Carré Destinations Show in Athens in April 2025.
The business model is project-based professional services: each engagement is custom-quoted based on venue, group size, activities, catering, transportation, and accommodation, with contracts structured on a multi-year basis. Go-to-market is a B2B enterprise field-sales motion targeting international corporate clients and event agencies, supported by a network of five international representative offices — DMC Network (USA), Carré Destinations (France), Tourism Portfolio (Australia/NZ), Mundus Representation (UK), and Ria Mooijaart (DACH). Marketing is primarily organic, spanning LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, content marketing, and industry event participation, supplemented by FAM trips and email newsletters. The company holds memberships in HATTA, HAPCO, ADMEI, SITE, the Athens Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and the Athens Convention Bureau, and operates a registered trademark (Reg. No. 223622) in Nice classes 35, 39 and 41.
Optimum is governed under Greek company law as a Single Member S.A. with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding rounds. Headcount is in the 11–50 range. Revenue and pricing are not publicly disclosed. The firm remains privately held and operates independently, with international expansion executed through partnership channels rather than owned subsidiaries.
