The 14th “TARMAKBİR Sector Meetings,” originally launched in 2007 and now a long-standing tradition, will take place in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus on January 30-31, 2026.
The last meeting took place in Antalya from February 9 to 11, 2024, and gathered around 150 participants, including industrialists, industry representatives, and officials from relevant ministries and associated organizations, as well as media representatives from finance, trade fairs, and the industry. The event was streamed live on industry-specific television channels.
First introduced in 2024 under the theme of “Ideas Worth Sharing,” our Industry Meeting is now convening merchants from the sector in response to widespread interest. To this end, we have extended the program to two days, and the first day (Friday, January 30, 2026) is designed to raise awareness, taking into account the needs of our dealers and drawing inspiration from world-renowned TED conferences on the following topics.
