Congress and trade expo

### KBUD Congress & LAB Expo

Liberty Lykia Fethiye and Antalya · Annual since 2017

A guaranteed block of 500 rooms on peak nights, 41 exhibition stands, three satellite symposia and nine further sponsorship items — held together as one system rather than nine departments. A stand sold to a sponsor lands in the venue layout; a symposium lands in the scientific programme; accommodation lands in the registration system; transfers land against flight and room dates. For the 2026 edition we also built a mobile-first app so delegates could browse the programme, build a personal agenda and push sessions to their own calendar without creating an account.

## Where it runs

The congress has run at Liberty Lykia in Fethiye, on [the Turquoise Coast](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/turquoise-coast), and in [Antalya](https://kervanretreat.com/grounds/antalya). Eight editions on this coast is most of what we know about its hotels at scale.

A five-hundred-room operation is not what most companies need. The discipline is the same at fifty: every sale, booking and transfer lands in one plan. See [how that applies to a company retreat](https://kervanretreat.com/company-retreats-turkey).

## Start a retreat

Rough dates and a headcount are enough to start. We reply within one working day.
