Why choose the Balatonfüred Congress Center

Venue Overview

The Balatonfüred Congress Center is a modern, multifunctional facility tailored to host congresses, conferences, exhibitions, corporate meetings and gala dinners alike. Combining contemporary design with lakeside elegance, the centre provides an environment that sparks creativity, engagement and connection.

The 1,800-capacity, 4,500-square-metre multifunctional congress centre is designed with its key spaces located on the ground floor. At its heart lies the plenary hall — also suitable for theatre performances and concerts — offering seating for 650 guests and directly connected to all essential supporting functions. From the spacious foyer, which accommodates mobile exhibitions, receptions and a wide range of events, two symmetrically arranged side corridors lead to the main hall. On both sides, cloakrooms and elegant, emerald-green Art Nouveau–inspired restroom blocks create a refined atmosphere.

Adjacent to the large glass-covered lobby, a modern minimalist exhibition space of 380 square metres provides a flexible venue for exhibitions, receptions and gala dinners. Two additional section rooms open from this area, further expanding the possibilities for diverse and parallel event setups.

Lakeside Location

An inspiring venue where serene lake views and the vibrant charm of Balatonfüred create an exclusive atmosphere. As the "capital of Lake Balaton," Balatonfüred has been a flourishing cultural and artistic centre since the Reform Era. Its unique microclimate and renowned healing springs make it a popular destination for recreation and well-being. The town is equally favoured by water sports and cycling enthusiasts, offering direct access to the Balaton Bike Ring and hosting a historic yacht club with long-standing traditions. With a population of around 14,000, Balatonfüred provides a pleasant small-town ambience while offering the full infrastructure and services one would expect from a larger city.

Balatonfüred is also home to the Anna Ball, held every July — Europe's oldest ball with an unbroken tradition. In 2025, this prestigious event celebrated its 200th anniversary, further highlighting the town's rich cultural heritage and timeless elegance.

All-in-One Conference Destination

The Balatonfüred Congress Centre is part of a broader ecosystem that includes the town's premium hotels and key service providers. We currently collaborate with 10 strategic partners — all four- and five-star hotels — as well as numerous local suppliers to offer a unified service portfolio under the emerging Congress Campus brand. Our shared goal is to provide event organisers with a comprehensive, turnkey solution that removes the complexity of planning and coordination.

Within a 10-minute walking distance from the Congress Centre, these partner hotels not only offer high-quality accommodation but also provide an additional 1,200-person event capacity, complementing the Centre's own 1,800-seat offering. This layout enables a true "campus experience," where the Congress Centre functions as the main hub, surrounded by satellite venues that seamlessly support parallel programmes, breakout sessions and social events.

We believe that the short walks between locations encourage relaxation, informal networking and meaningful connection — all while giving organisers the flexibility to shape a unique event concept tailored precisely to their needs.
