In March, Budapest will serve as the venue for the prestigious Events Club Associations Forum, organized by Europe Congress.

The forum is a specialized gathering aimed at addressing the needs of event planners from international associations and Professional Congress Organisers (PCOs). In collaboration with the Budapest Convention Bureau, the forum will provide an opportunity to connect with venues and destinations adept at hosting large-scale international events. It also offers an in-depth look at Budapest’s diverse MICE offerings.

They will also have access to the Royal Spa, as well as the hotel’s renowned bars and restaurants. The iconic venue will provide an ideal setting for high-level networking and exploration of Budapest as a premier event destination.

“The Events Club Associations Forum is an excellent platform to highlight Budapest as a competitive and
inspiring destination for association events,” said Andrea Márton, Director of Marketing and Communication
at Corinthia Budapest. “Hosting the forum at Corinthia Budapest enables us to present our historical setting,
large-scale and flexible event spaces, and strong service standards directly to key industry decision makers,
supporting future MICE growth for both the hotel and the city.”

Participants will have the opportunity to enjoy two memorable evenings at renowned Budapest landmarks, starting at the esteemed Hungexpo, a major Hungarian event and conference centre. The second evening will take place at Gundel, a celebrated 130-year-old restaurant in the heart of Budapest, renowned for its fine Hungarian cuisine. These exclusive dinners offer a fantastic chance for networking and socializing outside the usual business environment, all while experiencing the warm hospitality Hungary is famous for.

In addition to these evenings, participants can explore the vibrant city of Budapest through four city tours and a selection of hotel site inspections, providing a deeper understanding of the local culture and potential event venues. A guided walking tour of the Pest side includes visits to iconic sites such as the Opera House and St. Stephen’s Basilica, Budapest’s grandest Catholic church, along with a delicious taste of traditional chimney cake. Another tour will explore City Park, home to key attractions like the Széchenyi Medicinal Baths and the House of Hungarian Music. Participants will also enjoy a sightseeing bus tour of Pest, complete with tastings of Hungarian wine, strudel, and goulash. Lastly, a private tour of the Zwack Museum, known for its famous Zwack Unicum liqueur, will offer a unique Hungarian experience.
