If you haven't attended a conference in Hungary yet, you are missing out. Budapest isn't just one of the most photogenic cities in Europe; it is rapidly becoming a serious hub for cross-disciplinary research.
For 2026, the calendar is already filling up with high-quality international events. Unlike the massive, impersonal conventions you might find elsewhere, European conferences here tend to offer better networking opportunities and a much lower price point for registration and accommodation.
I’ve curated a list of the top 3 confirmed conferences taking place in Hungary in 2026. I've included the direct links to their official websites so you can bookmark them and start your submission process.

1. The Economist's Choice: 55th EBES Conference
For researchers in Economics, Finance, and Business, the Eurasia Business and Economics Society (EBES) is a household name. Their 55th edition is landing in Budapest, and it’s going to be a major event.
• When: April 16–18, 2026

2. For Scientists & Engineers: 10th ICONST 2026

• Where: Óbuda University, Budapest
• Scope: It’s broad, covering everything from Engineering and Natural Sciences to Life Sciences.

3. Management & Marketing: IAC-MEM 2026
The International Academic Conference on Management, Economics and Marketing (IAC-MEM) is perfect for scholars who want a focused, intimate setting to discuss management theories and marketing strategies.

4. Tips for Your Budapest Trip
• Mix Business with Pleasure: Budapest is famous for its thermal baths (like Széchenyi or Gellért). Plan to stay an extra day after the conference to soak and decompress.
• Transport: The public transport system (trams and metro) is cheap and efficient. You rarely need a taxi.
• Currency: Hungary uses the Forint (HUF), not the Euro, though cards are accepted almost everywhere.
