ETHNOFEST 2024

Tbilisi 5th International Summit of Crafts & Design ETHNOFEST 2024

October 11, 12, 13 - 2024, ExpoGeorgia

Tbilisi International Summit of Crafts and Design ETHNOFEST is one of the largest platforms for craft makers, designers, entrepreneurs, retailers, experts, commercial agents, buyers, and the general public in the South Caucasus region. The summit is a great chance for local and international craft makers to showcase their handmade products, receive feedback from buyers and commercial agents, build business contacts, find new customers, and access local and international markets. ETHNOFEST is a cultural attraction for locals and foreign visitors, who can purchase handmade products directly from their creators and, through face-to-face communication with the artisans, learn more about the items they purchase.
