“If there was ever any doubt whether Budapest is firmly on the global business events map, IBTM World just answered with a clear yes.” 💬✨
A record-breaking Hungarian exhibitor team of 26 Hungarian suppliers joined this year’s IBTM World in Barcelona. On top of the strong business presence, this year we also launched a brand-new initiative: a collaborative live painting experience at the stand. 🖌️
Throughout the show, hundreds of visitors stopped by to add their own brushstroke, turning the canvas into a shared artwork – and at the same time contributing to a common noble cause. It was a great way to spark conversations, drive traffic to the stand, and create a memorable, emotional connection with the destination.
This presence means:
🔹 a strong signal that Budapest and Hungary are competitive MICE destinations,
🔹 new opportunities to attract international conferences, incentive trips, and corporate events,
🔹 and a clear proof of what the Hungarian sector can achieve when it appears as one unified brand at one of the world’s leading business events shows.
Huge congratulations to all exhibitors and organisers who contributed to this shared success! 👏
We are really excited to see how many new events, partnerships, and leads will land in Hungary thanks to the connections – and experiences – built at IBTM World. 🤝
