HUNGEXPO Reborn: New Congress Centre and 7 Halls Open for Business
Budapest joins top European congress destinations following the €170 million refurbishment of the HUNGEXPO Congress and Exhibition Centre
HUNGEXPO, Budapest’s congress and exhibition centre, is open for business following a two-year refurbishment and expansion programme. With an investment of €170 million, the congress and exhibition venue can now claim to be the largest and most modern in Central Europe.
With capacity to host from 2,000 to 20,000 delegates, HUNGEXPO offers flexible event spaces within its 70,000 sqm floorplan. The experienced team at the Centre has gained a strong reputation for meticulous planning and partnerships when managing large events. On site event services include management, catering, technical expertise and furniture supply.

With a 21st-century architectural design, the new Main Building is already becoming a landmark in the city.
Two new event halls – Hall H (5,700 sqm) and Hall E (7,300 sqm) – have been added taking the total indoor space available to 70,000 sqm.
The three-level state-of-the-art Congress Centre (Hall C) offers 15,000 sqm of space including a 2,000-seat plenary hall, three dozen smaller meeting rooms, a 2,500 sqm expo area and a rooftop terrace.
The huge new on-site kitchen and catering facilities can serve 2,000 covers at a time.
With two new exhibition halls and a new congress centre, HUNGEXPO is now the largest multifunctional exhibition and congress venue in Central Eastern Europe.
“I had the pleasure of seeing the profound transformation of HUNGEXPO on site and it is truly impressive,” says Sven Bossu, CEO of AIPC, International Association of Convention Centres, who attended the opening. “The brand-new conference centre is not only pleasing to the eye, it also offers ultimate flexibility in terms of room capacity and set-up – including the plenary room, which can be transformed into several multi-function spaces in a minimum of time. This needs to be considered in combination with the renewed exhibition halls, which are only a footstep away.
“As a result, HUNGEXPO can indeed host any type of event, whether it is a big congress with an exhibition or a massive exhibition with a small conference. These days, flexibility is the key success factor and HUNGEXPO definitely has everything it takes.”
Open since September, events have been returning to the rejuvenated venue and include the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress and the ’One With Nature’ World of Hunting and Nature Exhibition.
And the conference planner’s headache of problems with internet connection have been overcome thanks to service provider Magyar Telekom’s high-capacity 5G access throughout the entire venue. Fifth generation mobile technology enables higher data transfer rates, low latency and the simultaneous connection of many network devices.
