707Conf: Cyprus Gets Its First B2B Conference For The Event Industry

Limassol, Cyprus — July 7, 2026.

The Warehouse is hosting 707Conf today, the first business-to-business conference created specifically for Cyprus’ event industry. Running from 15:00 to 22:00, the one-day event brings agencies, venues, contractors and technical crews together with the client brands that hire them, all within an aviation-themed format featuring boarding passes instead of badges, a “Ground Crew” of service partners and a “Flight Alliance” of client brands.

Tickets (€14) are sold through SoldOut Ticketbox. The event is produced by The Warehouse’s own team, led by founder Ilya.

The Agenda

  • 15:00 — Boarding. Doors open, registration, exhibition zone live all day.
  • 15:30 — Takeoff. Opening remarks.
  • 15:45 — Clients, Unfiltered. A plenary panel bringing together six client-side brands to discuss what actually makes them choose, or drop, an agency or venue.
  • 16:30 — Love at First Pitch. A speed-dating format pairing suppliers directly with client brands for fast, structured introductions.
  • 17:15 — Discussion Club: Occupational Hazards. A moderated roundtable on the industry’s real operating risks, led by Varvara Rumiantseva.
  • 18:00 — Masterclass. A hands-on session led by Alex Barin.
  • 18:40 — Debrief. Closing reflections and key takeaways from the day.
  • 19:00 — Night Flight. The conference moves into the evening at The Warehouse’s W Bar, where live artists will bring the day to a close.

Exhibition booths will remain open throughout the event, giving Ground Crew partners and exhibitors the opportunity to connect directly with attendees.

A Word From The Founder

“Cyprus has never had a day dedicated entirely to the people who make the events industry happen. This isn’t another client-facing showcase. It’s a space where agencies, venues and production teams can exchange ideas, build relationships and do business with one another. That’s what 707Conf is about.

We’re not asking anyone to pitch to us. Instead, we’re bringing suppliers and the brands that hire them together, on the same schedule, creating opportunities for conversations that usually happen behind the scenes to take place out in the open,”

Ilya, Founder & General Manager, The Warehouse.

Cyprus Employment Rises 1.7% To 525,167 In Q2 2026

Cyprus employment increased 1.7% year over year to an estimated 525,167 people in the second quarter of 2026, according to the state statistical service, Cystat. Employees accounted for 472,254 of the total, while 52,913 were self-employed. The increase points to continued labor market growth across both wage employment and independent work.

Trade, Construction And Leisure Lead Employment Growth

Wholesale and retail trade, including motor vehicle and motorcycle repair, recorded some of the strongest employment gains, alongside construction and arts, entertainment and recreation.

Those sectors are closely linked to domestic economic activity, with trade reflecting consumer demand and construction reflecting investment. Employment growth in leisure-related industries also points to continued activity in consumer-facing services.

Hours Worked Rise Faster Than Employment

Labor input increased faster than headcount. Cystat estimated that employees and other workers put in 246.57 million hours during the second quarter, up 2.2% from a year earlier.

The increase suggests that businesses were not only employing more people but also recording higher total hours worked. Wholesale and retail trade, construction, and arts, entertainment and recreation again recorded the strongest gains.

Labor Market Expansion Remains Broad-Based

The combination of higher employment and hours worked points to continued expansion in Cyprus’ labor market during the second quarter. The pace remains moderate, but gains across several major sectors indicate that labor demand continued to support economic activity.
