Eleven Years of History, One Night to Remember

This year’s Budapest Business Party carries special meaning. In 2013, ITL Group set out to create something different — a space where the formality of business gives way to genuine human connection.

What started as a vision has become an institution on the Hungarian business calendar, and the 2026 edition is the perfect moment to look back with pride and look forward with excitement.

"Eleven editions in, and the Budapest Business Party still feels like the first time — full of energy, full of possibility, and full of the kind of conversations that actually matter. The Danube is the perfect setting for what we’ve always believed: that the best business relationships are built not in boardrooms, but in moments like these. We can’t wait to welcome you on board."
- Alessandro Farina, ITL Group Managing Director.

Onboard the River Diva, the evening will feature special moments to honour this journey — celebrating the partnerships, trust, and shared ambition that have defined eleven years of Budapest Business Party history. Whether you’re a familiar face or joining us for the first time, this is your night too.
