HUNGEXPO CELEBRATES 20 YEARS AS PART OF THE GL EVENTS VENUES NETWORK

An iconic venue in the heart of Central Europe, serving the events of tomorrow
Since 2005, Hungexpo, the exhibition and convention centre of Budapest, has been more than just a venue – it has become a true driver of economic development, a key player in Hungary’s attractiveness, and one of the pillars of the GL events Venues network in Europe.

An international momentum serving local region

Since its acquisition in 2005 by the GL events group, Hungexpo has undergone a profound transformation. Becoming part of the group has opened new international perspectives while strengthening its local engagement. A hub for dialogue, exchange and influence, Hungexpo hosts more than 100 events every year, including trade fairs, international congresses, corporate events, festivals, and numerous film shoots.
Each event organized or hosted directly contributes to the development of the local economic and tourism ecosystem, reinforcing Budapest’s vitality on the European stage.

A transformation driven by innovatio

Originally founded in 1967, the venue reached a major milestone with its renovation in 2021.
This large-scale modernization program redesigned the entire site to meet the highest international standards, with state-of-the-art infrastructure: new exhibition halls, modular spaces, and a next-generation convention centre.
Hungexpo now embodies a new generation of event venues, combining heritage, innovation, and performance within a sustainably designed setting, ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

A long-term commitment, at the heart of GL events' DN

Reflecting the group’s CSR strategy, Hungexpo strengthens its commitment to more responsible events year after year. Resource-efficient management, waste sorting, energy efficiency – everything is designed to combine operational excellence with a controlled environmental footprint.
Today, Hungexpo celebrates 20 years of collaboration with the GL events group, with an undiminished ambition: to continue growing and to keep raising Hungary’s international profile.
