Two international scientific conferences are taking place in Agios Nikolaos, eastern Crete, hosted by the Hellenic Mediterranean University (ELMEPA). The 9th SMTDA 2026 Conference and Demographics 2026 Workshop run from June 8 to 11, followed by the 19th CHAOS 2026 International Conference from June 12 to 15. Both events are held at the university's Department of Management Science and Technology (DET) campus in Agios Nikolaos. Delegates and researchers from around the world will be attending throughout the two-week period, which may increase demand for accommodation and dining in the area. Visitors planning to stay in Agios Nikolaos during these dates should book accommodation in advance. The conferences are academic in nature and not open to the general public, but the influx of international visitors adds to the cosmopolitan atmosphere of this popular Lasithi coastal town.
